🔎 How to Select a Mango
When it comes to mangoes, colour isn't always the best indicator of ripeness. Some mangoes can retain a touch of green colouring, even when perfectly ripe.
- 1. Colour: Look for yellow skin, with an orange-red blush. An ideal mango should have some of this colour, but don't rely on this alone.
- 2. Scent: Smell close to the stem to test for a rich, fruity, sweet and fragrant scent. If it smells amazing, go for it!
- 3. Touch: Gently squeeze the mango. The flesh of a mango that's ripe and ready to eat should give slightly when gently pressed, but not feel soft or mushy.
- 4. Shape: Look for an ovate, full shape with plump flesh especially close to the stem and beak.
🔪 How to Cut a Mango
Slice and serve in four simple steps...
- 1. Rinse then slice through the curvature of the mango, either side of the pit.
- 2. Score the flesh, without cutting through the skin.
- Use a spoon to scoop the mango flesh from the skin.
- 3. Remove the remaining mango flesh from around the pit.
- 4. Serve in a bowl, and eat fresh or topped with your favourite yoghurt, or ice cream.
How to Store a Mango
Fridge or fruit bowl? It depends...
- Store your mango in the fruit bowl when... It's still firm and needs to ripen at room temperature.
- Store your mango in a paper bag when... You want to speed up the ripening process.
- Store your mango in the fridge when... It's fully ripe and you want to preserve it for a few more days.
- Store your mango in a plastic bag when... It's already cut and you want to store it safely in the fridge.
