Tuesday's Food Tip - How to Choose a Mango

Although mangoes have been available in supermarkets across the country for many years now, to many shoppers a mango is still a mysterious fruit and one they have never tried because they don't know how to choose a "good" mango.

Color is not the most important thing when choosing a mango. Instead, choose a mango that is firm, plump, and has a heady fragrance. Just like pears, mangoes are harvested firm and they ripen OFF the tree.

Ripen the mango at room temperature. It will be ready to eat when it gives slightly to a little pressure at the bottom.
