It is nearing the end of June which is our family's favorite time of year because it is MANGO SEASON! Our children love mangos and almost everyone who tastes this fruit thinks they have died and gone to heaven. There are many growers of mango in the world but our favorite is Kent. Why? Because the fruit is sweet and smooth with very little fiber strands.
How do you pick a good mango? First of all if you are lucky enough to have the Kent variety available to you, you pretty much can't go wrong. pick fruit with lots of red color. ( You don't want ones that are all green.) Make sure there are no bruises or brown spots.
They should be firm to the touch. If you are buying ripe mangos, make sure the fruit bounces back when you push on it or don't buy it.
If the fruit is not ripe yet set it in a dark cool corner wrapped in news paper for 3 days. Once ripen store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. It won't be there that long...trust me!
Coming soon....pictures of the perfect mango.
