What is the nutrition of freeze-dried mangosteen per 100 g?
400 kcal on a US label or 360 kcal on an EU label, with 70 g of natural sugar, 13.3 g of fibre, no saturated fat, no sodium and no added sugar. Freeze-drying takes out the water and keeps everything else, so 100 g of freeze-dried mangosteen carries what 5–6 times that weight of fresh aril carries. For a brand team those numbers do three jobs: they cost the recipe, they set the energy line for each market, and they give a single-ingredient fruit snack a clean story that also fits where US label rules are heading.
What does 100 g and a 40 g serving contain?
| Nutrient | Per 100 g | % DV (100 g) | Per 40 g serving |
|---|---|---|---|
| Calories | 400 kcal (EU label: 360 kcal) | 160 kcal | |
| Total fat | 1.7 g | 2% | 0.7 g |
| Saturated fat | 0 g | 0% | 0 g |
| Sodium | 0 mg | 0% | 0 mg |
| Potassium | 260 mg | 6% | 104 mg |
| Total carbohydrate | 90 g | 33% | 36 g |
| Dietary fibre | 13.3 g | 48% | 5.3 g |
| Total sugars | 70 g (0 g added) | 28 g | |
| Protein | 3.3 g | 1.3 g |

40 g is the US reference serving for dried fruit, so it is the column your US artwork starts from. The values come from fruit harvested at 16–19 °Brix in Lai Thieu and the Mekong Delta, the same fruit your lot is made from, and they track the fruit closely because nothing is added. Main-season fruit sits at the sweeter end of the range and late-season fruit a little lower, which is why FruitBuys confirms the final figures on your commercial lot before the label goes to print.
Why 400 kcal in the US and 360 kcal in the EU?
Because the two systems count fibre differently, not because the fruit changes. US labels are commonly built with total carbohydrate, fibre included, at 4 kcal per gram, which brings freeze-dried mangosteen to 400 kcal per 100 g. EU labels count fibre separately at 2 kcal per gram, which brings the same product to 360 kcal.
FruitBuys supplies the data in both conventions from the R&D stage, so your design team approves artwork for each market on the right number without commissioning a separate calculation. A SKU sold on both sides of the Atlantic simply carries two label versions from the start.
Is the 70 g of sugar added?
No. The ingredient line is 100% mangosteen, and added sugars are 0 g. Fresh aril is harvested at 16–19 °Brix; once the water is removed, that sugar sits in a smaller weight. The sweetness your consumer tastes is the fruit’s own, balanced by the bright tartness that makes mangosteen taste of more than sugar.
That makes 70 g a fingerprint of pure freeze-dried mangosteen, and a quick way to read any other offer. Syrup-infused segments show added sugars on the panel and usually a higher total; a product bulked with a carrier shows maltodextrin or similar on the ingredient line. Pure fruit shows neither. On pack, “no added sugar” next to a single-ingredient line turns the same number into a selling point.
Which fibre claim can the pack carry?
A strong one in both main markets. 13.3 g of natural dietary fibre per 100 g supports a “good source of fiber” label at the FDA 40 g serving (5.3 g, 19% of the Daily Value) and a “high fibre” claim in the EU, where the threshold is 6 g per 100 g. With no saturated fat and no sodium, that puts a fibre message on the front of a fruit snack, an office-snacking pack or a better-for-you range without changing the recipe. The lot panel on your serving size confirms it for the printed label.
What do the new US label rules mean for a single-ingredient fruit?
They work in its favour. FDA’s updated “healthy” claim, with compliance required from 25 February 2028, lets foods made only of fruit with no added ingredients except water qualify on that basis, and freeze-dried mangosteen is one ingredient. FDA has also proposed a front-of-pack Nutrition Info box that rates saturated fat, sodium and added sugars as Low, Medium or High; freeze-dried mangosteen carries 0 of all three. The proposal is not final, but a brand refreshing its packs before 2028 is choosing ingredients with both rules in mind. Final eligibility is confirmed on your finished label and serving size.
Is freeze-dried mangosteen a source of xanthones?
Not one to sell on. Most of mangosteen’s xanthones sit in the purple rind, and the white flesh that becomes freeze-dried mangosteen carries only small amounts. No health claim for mangosteen xanthones is authorised in the EU, and a xanthone message on a flesh-based product would not stand up in any market. The stronger position is taste and a clean label: a sweet-tart, floral fruit most shoppers have rarely tried, one ingredient, no added sugar and real fibre. That is a story a brand can print, defend and price.
Is freeze-dried mangosteen low-sugar or keto?
No, and it is better to say so on the brief than discover it at label review. At 70 g of natural sugar and 90 g of carbohydrate per 100 g, it is a fruit snack with fibre and no fat, not a low-carb product. If your range is built around low sugar, use freeze-dried mangosteen as an inclusion at 3–8% of a low-sugar base, or as mangosteen powder for flavour in a drink, and the fruit brings its flavour without carrying the sugar line of the whole product.
How do you get from these numbers to a finished label?
Three checks take a pack from artwork draft to approved label:
| Check | What to confirm | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Convention | US (400 kcal, 40 g serving) or EU (360 kcal, per 100 g) | Right number for each market from the first proof |
| 2. Claims | “No added sugar”, fibre claim; no xanthone or health claim | Claims that hold up at import and on shelf |
| 3. Lot panel | Nutrition panel on your commercial lot and serving size | Final figures confirmed on the fruit you are buying |
For the third check, FruitBuys samples your commercial lot and arranges the nutrition panel at an independent ISO/IEC 17025 accredited third-party laboratory. Specification limits and lot testing are covered in what limits freeze-dried mangosteen should meet.
When should you not rely on typical values?
When the product is not plain freeze-dried mangosteen. A blend with other fruits, a coated piece or a powder with a flow aid has its own nutrition, so the panel is run on the finished product instead. For a consumer-facing view of the same numbers, see is freeze-dried mangosteen healthy; format choices are in which freeze-dried mangosteen format fits your product.

FAQ
How many calories are in freeze-dried mangosteen?
400 kcal per 100 g on a US label and 360 kcal on an EU label. A 40 g serving is 160 kcal (US).
Does freeze-dried mangosteen contain added sugar?
No. The 70 g of sugar per 100 g is the fruit’s own, concentrated by drying. Added sugars are 0 g.
How much fibre does freeze-dried mangosteen have?
13.3 g per 100 g, or 5.3 g in a 40 g serving: enough for a “good source of fiber” label in the US and a “high fibre” claim in the EU.
Is freeze-dried mangosteen high in vitamin C?
No. Mangosteen is not a high-vitamin C fruit, so build the pack story on taste, fibre and a single-ingredient label instead.
Can I claim xanthones on the label?
No. Most xanthones sit in the rind, the white flesh carries only small amounts, and no xanthone health claim is authorised in the EU.
Is freeze-dried mangosteen fat-free?
It is very low in fat, 1.7 g per 100 g, with no saturated fat. It should not be labelled fat-free.
Can I use these numbers for my packaging?
Yes, for recipe costing and artwork drafts. FruitBuys then confirms the final figures with a nutrition panel on your commercial lot.
