4. Ripening, Storage & Usage

29. How do I ripen Alphonso mangoes at home?

Spread mangoes in a single layer on their side at room temperature — ideally on the natural hay provided in our box. Keep in a warm spot away from direct sunlight. Allow 2-4 days for Stage 2-3 fruit to reach Stage 4 (golden yellow skin, intense saffron aroma, slight give under gentle thumb pressure).

30. How do I know when an Alphonso mango is ripe and ready to eat?

Stage 4 ripeness signals: (1) Skin is golden yellow with natural orange blush. (2) Strong sweet saffron-honey aroma near the stem. (3) Yields slightly to gentle thumb pressure. (4) Brix in the 18-22° range. Do not squeeze — check near the stem tip only.

31. Should I keep Alphonso mangoes in the fridge?

No — not until fully ripe. Keep unripe mangoes (Stage 1-3) at room temperature. Refrigerating unripe Alphonso causes chilling injury, damaging fruit cells and preventing ripening. Only refrigerate fully ripe Stage 4 mangoes to extend freshness by 2-3 additional days.

32. What are the 5 ripening stages of Alphonso mango?

Stage 1 (Mature Green): Brix below 12. Stage 2 (Breaker): Brix 12-15. Stage 3 (Turning): Brix 15-18. Stage 4 (Ripe — OPTIMAL): Brix 18-22, intense saffron aroma, golden skin. Stage 5 (Overripe): Brix 22+, soft, fermented taste. We dispatch at Stage 2-3 for optimal arrival across India.

33. What is Aamras and how do I make it?

Aamras is traditional Indian Alphonso mango pulp served with puri or chapati. Recipe: Peel Stage 4 Ratnagiri/Devgad Hapus mangoes, remove seed, blend pulp smooth. Add a pinch of cardamom and saffron optionally. Or buy our readymade, preservative-free Alphonso Mango Pulp (850g tin) at alphonsomango.in for year-round Aamras.

34. How long does Alphonso mango last after delivery?

Delivered at Stage 2-3: 3-5 days to ripen naturally, then 1-3 days of peak ripeness at room temperature. Refrigerated once ripe (Stage 4): 2-3 extra days. Total shelf life from delivery: 5-8 days depending on dispatch stage and temperature conditions.
