Question

Does anyone eat the dried mangos in the big bag from Costco? The only ingredient is mangos, so I’m hoping they’re 0 points. I love to chew on a few strips while watching tv in the evening. Really satisfies the sweet tooth and the desire to chew. Are they just counted as a fruit and thus 0 points?
