Use & preparation
- If too many of your mangos ripen at once: Peel the fruit, cut into small pieces and freeze. Use the frozen cubes to make smoothies or combine with frozen bananas to make ice cream. Just add to a high-speed blender while still frozen and blend.
- Add to curries for a fruity kick or use pickled mangos to make a chutney.
Storage & shelf life
Store the fruit at room temperature in a well-ventilated area. It loses its flavour when stored in the refrigerator. Mangos will keep for about six to ten days. They ripen faster when stored near apples or pears. The mangos are ripe once they become intensely fragrant and their flesh gives slightly when pressed. Check your mangos for bruises and minor damage as soon as you receive them. Eat any damaged or ripe ones first.
