How to Choose Fresh Mango at the Market
When shopping for mangos, look for firm, well-shaped fruit with shiny, taut skin that is free of cuts and blemishes.
Color isn’t always the best indicator of ripeness since skin color differs from variety to variety.
Green mangos are mangos that are picked before they are ripe.
They’re firm and tart, tasting a little like sour apple and they’re very popular in Asian cooking.

Mango Has A Nice Aroma When Ripe
The best way to select mangos is by smell and touch. A ripe mango will have a little bit of give to it and a nice aroma.
Mangos continue to ripen even after picking.
To ripen a mango, store it at room temperature away from direct sunlight, or place in a paper bag checking it daily to prevent over-ripening.
It’s also a good idea to turn the fruit occasionally.
Better Flavor at Room Temperature
Treat mangos the same way you would peaches.
Mangos can be refrigerated once ripe, but their flavor is most intense at room temperature.

Freeze Your Mango For Later Instructions:
1. I cut the skin off first. Cut up the mango by slicing from the top-down sideways not hitting the pit
2. Then cut into cubes
3. Lay it on a parchment-lined cookie sheet
4. Freeze the cubes for around 12 hours. Add to freezer bags and label Mango on the bags.
Your mango now can be used later in cakes, pies, salsa, muffins, smoothies all winter long right from the freezer in whatever you like!
