How to keep Mangos?

[GypsyT]

I buy too much because that's the way they sell cheaper. How can I keep them fresh longest?

In a Fridge? Do they get watery? I haven't tried yet.

Slice, dice, and freeze. Otherwise they should last in the fridge a good week depending on the ripeness. Green mangoes can sit outside of a fridge for a good couple of weeks and longer in the fridge.

You're kidding right?

Right now is about as far as you can get from sweet mango season. But if you like them sour you are fine. The Thai's often use a dip called Nam Pla Wan and dip the green mango before eating.

That explain why I don't see them as before.

When I pick it's often not ripe. When my Thai gf picks they are great! And to me both looked same...

 

Thailand have SO MANY fruits! I try to learn. I know bananas pretty well.

I love fresh fruits.

Interesting.....also found this.....could be....... as we were inundated last year.....

 

Alternate Bearing

 

Mango trees are known for alternate bearing, which means they produce fruit in cycles. If your tree had an exceptionally large crop last year, it may have depleted its energy reserves, leading to little or no fruit this year. Trees sometimes take a rest year to recover.

I guess mango trees have something in common with me.

Let them sit there and decompose a bit then when you’re bored go out and stomp on them and pop the pits out, it’s pretty fun especially when you’re a little tot, I speak from experience.

- unless intelligently cultivated with adequate nutritional support, soil health building, and proper water management.

Wrap them individually in cling film and put in refrigerator, will last longer

We wrap them in newspaper and put them in a cupboard.

Keep them in the fridge, they'll last much longer.

Just tested and your are right - no change how they taste.

Many other fruits go bad...

If you put mangoes n the fridge, you need to put them in the warmest part of the fridge .  They should not be kept cold.  Avoid wrapping them in plastic as mangoes give off ethylene gas which will ripen them very quick if enclosed

should keep at about 10-12 degrees

 

I spent my whole life in the produce industry, so I do consider myself an expert

Peel, slice and freeze in plastic or ZipLoc bags.  Makes an excellent treat on hot days.

Go by the squirrels, if the hole is small - not ripe, if half eaten then they are ripe.

 

I know the problem, bit difficult to tell when they are 15 foot in the air. Wife gets annoyed when I pick them too soon but I like to get there before the squirrels, they soften up in a few days.
