Choosing a mango is very easy when you know how
Each type of mango will have a different buying method depending on the color and size. However, you can rely on some of the following tips to be able to choose to buy delicious fresh mangoes.
For green mango
To choose delicious green mangoes, you should choose those with a round waist, gradually smaller towards the tail.
You should choose to buy fruits with green skin that is neither too dark nor too light. If the stalk is still wet, fresh, and sticky with latex. So it is a freshly picked mango.
When buying, you should try to press on the fruit. If it feels hard, you should buy it. If it feels soft, you should not believe it. Because soft mango is a mango that has been left for a long time or is ripe and is not delicious.
For ripe mango
Naturally, ripe mangoes often have a stunning aroma, and sometimes there are tiny black dots on the skin but not large patches. So sometimes, to choose a natural and fresh ripe mango, you should smell it.
Choose ripe yellow fruits and hold them firmly. The skin is glossy and smooth, and the foot of the mango stalk is slightly recessed.
When gently pressing the mango, you will feel the firmness of the mango flesh, not softening or crushing. The ripe mangoes are delicious.
Avoid buying mangoes that are dark or have an extremely eye-catching appearance. Because sometimes they have been drugged or pressed by some method.
Not all ripe mangoes are yellow, and not all mangoes that are not fragrant are not mature. So it would be best to consider these criteria to choose the right mangoes.
