How To Tell If Mangos Are Good
There are a few ways to determine if a mango is ripe. First, look for a uniform color on the skin. Avoid mangos with bruises or patches of discoloration. Then, gently press on the fruit near the stem. A ripe mango will give slightly under pressure. Finally, smell the fruit. Ripe mangos will have a sweet, fragrant aroma.
