Habanero Mango Brats: Real Mango First, Honest Heat Behind It
At Valor Provisions, we partner with American producers who do things the right way. Paradise Meats in Trimble, Missouri is exactly that: a family-run, USDA-inspected shop where the Fantasma family has been making sausage since 1995, in a Missouri locker that has been feeding its community since 1946. These are their Habanero Mango Brats 4/ pack: a fresh pork brat from a sausage program with over 100 awards, and the hottest thing in the Paradise lineup.
What Makes This Brat Different
Most "mango habanero" anything gets both flavors from a bottle. This brat gets its fruit from real dehydrated mangos and its fire from actual habanero pepper in the spice blend, with a little honey powder and turmeric riding along. And we will say the quiet part: sugar is the second ingredient. That is the point. The sweetness lands first, the habanero shows up a beat later, and the two keep each other honest. Sweet heat, built the way a 100-award smokehouse builds it.
Why You'll Love It
Real Mango, Real Habanero - Dried fruit and true pepper heat, not flavoring.
Sweet First, Heat After - Bold but balanced; hot, not punishing.
Award-Winning Sausage Craft - From a program with 100+ awards over the last 15 years.
Made In-House - Ground, seasoned, and stuffed at Paradise's USDA-inspected plant in Trimble, MO.
How to Cook It
This is a fresh sausage: cook it through to 160°F internal. Grill over medium, turning often, and do not pierce the casing early. The sugar in this brat loves a grill but burns if you rush it, so keep the heat moderate and finish over the cool side. Serve on a bun with lime crema or pineapple salsa, slice over rice bowls, or pair with grilled peppers and a cold lager that can stand up to the habanero.
Ingredients
Pork, sugar, dehydrated mangos (mango, cane sugar), water, and less than 2% of the following: salt, honey powder, modified food starch, spices (including habanero pepper), citric acid, natural spice extractives (including turmeric), natural flavor.
The Paradise Meats Story
The Fantasma family bought the Paradise meat locker in 1995 and rebuilt it from the ashes of a 2002 fire into one of the most respected small processors in America. Today 50+ employees handle 300 to 350 local animals a week, with over 100 awards earned along the way. When you buy Paradise, you keep a Missouri family business and the local farms behind it in business. That is the Valor mission on a plate.
