Once ripe, mangos can be moved to the refrigerator to slow down ripening for several days.

To speed up ripening, place mangos in a paper bag at room temperature, and store for approximately 2 days or until the mangos are ripe.

Mangos will continue to ripen at room temperature, becoming sweeter and softer over several days.Mangos shouldn’t be refrigerated before they are ripe. Keep unripe mangos at room temperature.Ripe mangos will sometimes have a fruity aroma at their stem ends.Use your experience with produce such as peaches or avocados, which also become softer as they ripen.

A ripe mango will give slightly, indicating soft flesh inside. For example, red doesn’t necessarily mean ripe.

To check for ripeness, focus on FEEL not color because every variety is a different color when ripe.

Mangos are naturally sweet, juicy and just plain delicious! I have used mangos in many of my recipes (see Recipes List below), but not as many as I would like because I know many people are intimidated by choosing and cutting mangos. I am SO excited to be partnering with the National Mango Board to share my love of mangos with you!
