Tips for choosing good mangoes
- You should choose mangoes with a green, firm skin, and when held, they feel solid; these are good mangoes that will be crunchy and have a moderately sweet and sour taste.
- Fresh green mangoes just harvested will have a white powdery coating on the skin; you should prioritize buying these mangoes.
- Do not buy green mangoes that are soft; these are mangoes that have been stored for a long time and are starting to wilt or are immature mangoes harvested early, which do not have the characteristic sour taste when eaten.
