7 Smart Ways To Spot Sweet Mangoes This Summer

Check the Smell:

Whenever you buy a mango check near the stem if its sweet and has a sweet aroma near the stem that means the mango is ripe and ready to eat.

Look for Color Changes:

Though the color of the mango depends or varies by a variety but a ripe mango usually has rich yellow, red or orange hues.

Feel the Firmness:

Before buying the mangoes gently squeeze them, if it gives slightly, it’s likely sweet and ripe.

Check for Wrinkles:

If there are slight wrinkles on the skin of the mangoes especially near the stem that means it has high sugar content.

Avoid Sappy or Sticky Stems:

If the stem area is clean with no oozing or sticky residue, it is a good sign of ripeness.

Smaller Seed Bulge:

Always notice that the ripe mangoes with more pulp and less seed bulge are usually sweeter.

Heavy for Its Size:

Whenever you buy a mango pick up a few mangoes and choose the heavier one, as more weight means more juicy flesh inside.
