Things to remember when choosing mangoes
How to Select Mango
- Colour isn't a good indicator of ripeness.
- Touch indicates ripeness. Once ripened, you will feel the tenderness of the flesh inside, just like with pears or avocados.
- Some species of mangoes have a fruity aroma around the stem when ripe.
Ripening of mangoes
- Unripe mangoes are to be kept at room temperature, away from the sun, and not be refrigerated.
- Mango ripens at room temperature.
- To avoid over-ripening, store your ripened mangoes in a refrigerator.
- Ripe mangoes stay well in a refrigerator for one week.
Chopping mangoes
- Use a knife and a cutting board.
- Keep the mango straight so that the fruit stem is high. A flat hole or fruit seed starts from the stem to the base—one cuts around the shaft of the mango seed.
- Make vertical cuts on opposite sides an inch away from the smoke. Cut into two pieces, cut them in half with two halves, or cut the meat using a spoon.
- Another way to enjoy mango is to make a grid pattern on the meat without cutting the skin and removing the individual mango cubes.
