Fresh Succulent Mangoes

Manila Mangoes

Underneath the yellow skin of Manila mangoes, you will discover sweet and creamy yellow flesh with a buttery texture. This mango variety is usually orange-yellow hue when ripe; on a few occasions, the skin can turn pink. There are 2 simple ways to consider when selecting a Manila mango, by appearance & texture, and smell.

Selecting Manila Mangoes

Colour is apparently not the best indicator for Manila mangoes. Instead, you should:

• Lightly squeeze Manila mango with your palms. The flesh of the mango should yield.
• Smell the mango around the stem area. The taste of the mango is closely related to its smell.
• Avoid Manila mango that has the sour and alcoholic scent. This indicates that the mango is over-ripened.
• Avoid Manila mango with soft spots or bruises.

Storing Manila Mangoes

Similar to other soft-textured fruits, Manila mango continues to ripen after you brought it home. Putting the mango in a brown paper bag speed up the ripening process. Once your mango is ripe, our suggestion is to eat it. If it must be, you can put it in a refrigerator for a couple of days.
