Characteristics of mature mangoes: Every summer, mangoes are on the market in large quantities. There are many varieties of mangoes, which make people see things in a blur. The golden appearance and aroma make everyone want to take a bite. What are the characteristics of ripe mango?
Characteristics of mature mango. Look at the shape For most varieties of mangoes, round or football-shaped ones are better than flat ones. However, the differences between different varieties of mangoes still need attention.
2. Look at the fruit base. The flesh and peel around the pedicel should be bulging and round. Before the mango ripens, one end of the pedicel will become quite flat. The pulp, juice and sugar in it are not fully ripe. Once the mango is mature, the flesh should be full, and the pedicel should be slightly prominent, not flat.
3. Don't just look at the color. Red usually only shows how much sunlight mango receives, but not its freshness. And different varieties of mango have different mature colors. You shouldn't just rely on color to judge whether a mango is ripe, but if you want to use color as a backup indicator, you must first understand what each variety looks like when it is ripe.
4. Pay attention to spots. Although not sure, if the mango skin has some brown spots or stripes, it is probably ripe. Mango without stripes may also be ripe, depending on the variety of course. Maturity should not be judged by spots alone. Some mango varieties, such as Kent mango, may have yellow spots instead of brown spots.
5. Choose sweet mango. Smell the fragrance around the fruit base. If there is a strong fruit fragrance, it is probably completely ripe. Don't eat sour or alcoholic mango. If you smell a bitter taste at the base of the fruit, it means that the mango has matured and started to rot.
6. Gently squeeze the mango. When you squeeze mango, you should feel it rebound or shrink. Soft mango is a mature mango. If the mango doesn't droop after being squeezed, or it feels as hard as a stone, it means it's not ripe enough to eat. In order not to damage the fruit, squeeze it with your palm, not your fingers. Hold mango in the palm of your hand. Hold the mango in your hand and squeeze it gently with your palm. )
7. Feel the peel. Gently rub your fingertips on the surface of mango. Mature mango peel often has some fruit lines. However, no fruit line does not necessarily mean that this mango is raw. If the fruit lines are deep and occupy a large part of the surface of the peel, it means that the mango is probably overcooked.
8. Judge its weight. Pick up the mango with your hands and feel its weight. Compared with their size, mature mangoes feel heavier and heavier than raw mangoes. If you need a more accurate weight index, compare this possibly mature mango with the raw mango you know.
If it is ripe, the feeling of raw mango should be obviously lighter than this mango, especially in the same size and variety. If the two weights are too close, then the second mango may be raw.
How to ripen mangoes when they are not ripe?
1, put banana peel
Banana slices can produce ripening agent ethylene, which is helpful for mango ripening. It's best to find a new bag, put banana slices and mangoes together and seal them, and put them at room temperature of about 25-30℃ and they will be cooked in 24 hours. Banana slices are ripe, and it is better to have a few black spots.
Step 2 put it with apples
Apples themselves release a lot of ethylene. Putting immature mangoes and apples in a closed container can increase the concentration of ethylene and accelerate the ripening effect of apples.
Step 3 bury in rice
There will be some ethylene gas around the stored rice. If you bury the immature mango in rice, it will be fully cooked in about 3 days.
Tip: When ripening, it is best to put the mango at a relatively high temperature, so that the speed of producing ethylene will be faster.

If the skin is blue-green, the epidermis is astringent, or there are black spots around the epidermis and fruit pedicle, it is an immature mango or a mature mango.
Third, look at the fruit pedicle: when buying, you can press the fruit pedicle with your hand. If it feels hard and elastic, it is a mature mango; But if the pedicel is too hard or too soft, the quality is not good.
