Mango

Mango, often referred to as the 'king of fruits,' is a tropical fruit known for its sweet, juicy, and slightly tangy flavor. Its vibrant orange or yellow flesh is encased in a smooth, green-to-red skin, depending on the variety and ripeness. Mangoes are prized for their creamy texture and aromatic fragrance, making them a favorite in both sweet and savory dishes. Packed with vitamins A and C, mangoes are not only delicious but also highly nutritious, making them a popular choice for smoothies, desserts, and salads. Their natural sweetness and tropical flavor profile make them a versatile ingredient in global cuisines.

Storage Tips

Store unripe mangoes at room temperature until they soften and develop a sweet aroma. Once ripe, transfer them to the refrigerator to extend their freshness for up to 5-7 days. For longer storage, peel, dice, and freeze mango pieces in an airtight container or freezer bag, which is ideal for smoothies or cooking.
