Some Helpful Information On Mangos
Selecting: Don’t judge a mango by its color – red does not mean ripe. To find a ripe mango, just squeeze gently. A ripe mango will be slightly soft like a peach or avocado. A firm mango will ripen at room temperature over a few days.
Ripening: Ripe mangos will often have a sweet smell at the stem end. To encourage ripening, leave mangos at room temperature and they will ripen over several days.
Prepping: Stand the mango on your cutting board stem end down and hold. To cut a mango, simply slice off the sides of the fruit, avoiding the large seed in the center. Once you have these two sides, slice or dice within the mango halves as needed being careful not to break through the skin. Then, simply scoop the mango out of the skin.
Storing: Keep unripe mangos at room temperature. Never refrigerate mangos before they are ripe. Once ripe, mangos can be moved to the refrigerator to slow down the ripening process for several days.
We hope you give this Mango Smoothie Bowl a try! Enjoy!
