Mangoes are a popular fruit all around the world because of its juicy, sweet flesh and flavorful texture.
You should know how to keep them properly if you want to enjoy them to the fullest.

Unripe mangoes
Unripe mangos should be left at room temperature on the kitchen counter.
Steer clear of direct sunlight as this might lead to uneven ripening and spoiling.

Put the mangoes in a paper bag to expedite the ripening process. This encourages quicker ripening by trapping the ethylene gas they naturally release.
Ripe mangoes
To keep ripe mangoes longer, store them in the refrigerator. The fruit stays fresher for longer periods of time due to the chilly temperature, which also slows down the ripening process.
Place them on a shelf or in the crisper drawer to prevent squishing. If the mangoes have already been chopped, store the pieces in an airtight container before chilling.
In this way, the mangoes stay fresher longer and avoid absorbing other smells from the refrigerator. Mango slices or halves can also be wrapped securely in plastic wrap.
Long-term storage
Freezing is a great way to enjoy mangoes when they’re not in season. Mangoes should be peeled and cut into cubes or strips.
Arrange the mango slices in a single layer on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
Until the mango pieces are solid, place the sheet in the freezer. By doing this, they are kept from clumping together.
Once frozen, move the mango chunks into a container or bag that is suitable to freeze. For up to six months, keep them in the freezer after writing the date on the bag. Mango frozen chunks work well in smoothies, desserts, and other culinary applications.
Tips and tricks
Do not wash mangoes before storing them, as moisture can lead to mould growth.
Do not discard any overripe mangoes that you may have. They work wonderfully for creating mango sauce, smoothies, and puree. Your mangoes will stay tasty, fresh, and ready to eat if you adhere to these storage guidelines.
