    How to pick

    Ripe mangoes will have a strong aroma. Apply light pressure to a mango to test ripeness; if it gives slightly, it’s ready to eat.

    How to store

    Mangoes are best kept at room temperature. Once ripe, keep them in the fridge for up to 5 days to extend their life. Avoid keeping mangoes in plastic bags as they need to breathe.

    How to use

    Mangoes are a versatile fruit and can be enjoyed in many ways. Mango pairs particularly well with prawns and chicken. Cook both ripe and unripe mangoes in curries for a sweetened taste, or enjoy mangoes chargrilled. Process mangoes in a dressing or chutney, or use fresh sliced or pureed mango alongside and in desserts.
