How to ripen a mango?

An unripe mango will ripen on the counter at room temperature. To ripen a mango faster, put it in a brown paper bag. I like to add a ripe banana or even an onion to the bag to help the mango ripen faster. Roll up the end of the bag to close it. Like avocados, how long it will take will vary depending on how much it needs to ripen. A ripe mango can then be stored in the refrigerator to slow the ripening process.

How to pick a ripe mango?

Focus on feeling to pick a ripe mango. It will give a little when pressed, but not too soft or mushy. An unripe mango will be firm when pressed. Avoid any with large indentations and bruises.
