If you’ve never enjoyed fresh mango at home, you’re missing out! There’s no need to be intimidated by its unique shape – we’ll guide you through choosing, storing, cutting and savoring mango like a pro.

Choosing the Perfect Mango: Color isn’t the best indicator of ripeness for mangoes. Instead, give it a gentle squeeze – a ripe mango will be slightly soft, while unripe ones will feel firm.

Storage Secrets: If your mango needs a few days to ripen, store it at room temperature and check daily. Once ripe, refrigerate for up to five days to extend its shelf life.

Cutting with Confidence: A mango has one long, flat seed in the center. To slice around it, rest the mango stem-side down and slice off the “cheeks”—the two fleshy sides—avoiding the seed. Score the flesh into cubes while still in the peel, then scoop out with a spoon. Slice off any remaining flesh from the seed area.
