III. How do you tell if green mango is ripe?
Generally, if the tip of the green mango becomes soft and it feels soft when pinched by hand, it means it is already ripe. Of course, you can also easily identify whether green mango is ripe according to the following methods.
Method 1: Look at the fruit stalk: Generally, the fruit stalk of a ripe green mango will protrude slightly, and the surrounding flesh and skin will bulge. If one end of the fruit stalk is quite flat, it means it is not yet ripe and not suitable for eating.
Method 2: Smell the aroma: Generally, a ripe green mango gives off a strong fruity aroma. If the aroma is very strong, it means it is ripe. If not, then it is not ripe and not suitable for eating. In addition, if it smells of alcohol or sourness, it means it is very ripe and not suitable for eating.
Method 3: Touch it by hand: Generally, a ripe green mango feels somewhat soft. If pinched by hand, some fruit lines will appear, and the deeper the fruit lines, the more it indicates that the green mango is ripe. Of course, the absence of fruit lines does not necessarily mean the green mango is raw, so this method is not very accurate.
Method 4: Check the weight: Generally, a ripe green mango feels heavier when picked up. For example, if the size and variety are the same, and the weights of two are very close, then the relatively heavier one is the ripe one.
Overall, green mango market prices vary. Specifically, it depends on where you buy it and which type you buy, so when purchasing, try to check the local market. In addition, because the skin of green mango is green, it is difficult to identify whether it is ripe, but through several techniques such as the shape of the fruit stalk, smelling the aroma, and weighing it, you can also easily identify whether it is ripe.
