Mangoes are deliciously sweet and juicy tropical fruits that can pretty much be bought worldwide. The flavor and texture of ripe and unripe mangoes are obviously different.

COLOR

The more red color it gets (and the darker the red turns) the more mature (ripe) the mango will be. This will also help tell you when your mango is becoming too ripe, which is also not great.

TOUCH

Ripe mangoes are soft. You can gently press against their skin with your fingers. The skin and flesh shouldn’t indent completely, but the mango should be soft.

AROMA

Many people claim that ripe mangoes have an extremely fruity aroma around their stems at the top.

INSIDE LOOK

The flesh shouldn’t be bruised, darkened, or mushy. It should be firm but soft. And ripe mangoes are extremely juicy.
