How to Choose Fresh Green Mangoes
- When buying, you should choose mangoes that have a round waist and taper towards the tail. They should have an outer green skin that is neither too dark nor too light.
- You should select mangoes with stems still tightly attached and with sap on top, as this indicates they are fresh and just harvested.
- Additionally, when buying green mangoes, you should gently press the fruit. If it feels hard when pressed, you should buy it; if it feels soft, you should not. Soft mangoes have been stored too long or have overripe and are not tasty.
