During the high season, you can be tempted and buy a lot of mangoes at a very attractive price. However, you must consider their shelf life or store the fruit properly. This article provides tips for storing mangoes properly.

Steps

1. 1 Choose quality mangoes. Fruits should be selected for flavor, not color. Color indicates variety, not ripeness. The aroma should be bright and ripe. Also, choose mangoes that are free from blemishes or cracks.
2. 2 Prepare for storage. Store solid mangoes at room temperature. As soon as they become a little soft (you can understand this with a light pressure), put them in the refrigerator.
3. 3 Store in the refrigerator for 2-5 days.
4. 4 Freeze if desired. Mangoes can be frozen. The skin will turn black, but the flesh will be in good condition (it will be slightly softer than it was before it was frozen). You can either freeze the whole mango or cut it into chunks.

Tips

• Frozen mangoes are ideal for use in salads, ice cream, drinks (cocktails, etc.) and sauces.
