How to Decide Which to Buy?
Don’t judge a mango by its color! Squeeze gently to judge ripeness. A ripe mango will “give” slightly and a firm mango will ripen at room temperature over a few days. You can also speed up the ripening by putting it in a paper bag at room temperature. OR once ripe, mangoes can be moved to the refrigerator to slow down ripening for several days!
