Why Mangos?
The Secret to Selecting & Slicing The color of a mango isn’t always a reliable indicator of ripeness. Instead, focus on the way a mango feels. Ripe mangos are slightly soft to the touch; a medium-ripe fruit is slightly firm, and unripe mangos will be very firm. Flavor ranges from sour-tart to naturally sweet (ripe mangos), and they can be enjoyed at any stage of ripeness. Store unripe mangos at room temperature. If firm, place them in a brown paper bag for a few days to ripen. Once ripe and soft to the touch, they can be refrigerated to slow down ripening. Cutting a mango is as easy as 1—2—3—4 once you navigate the large seed in the center. Be sure to wash the fruit, have a sharp knife, and have a clean cutting board dedicated to fruit/produce.
