TOP TIPS FOR STORING MANGOES

• Mangoes can ripen if they are a little hard when you buy them, but they will not ripen in the fridge.

• To slowly ripen mangoes, store at room temperature but out of the sun. This usually takes 1-3 days.

• To speed up ripening, put mangoes in a paper bag. This may happen as quickly as overnight.

• Ripe mangoes should be stored in the fridge to prevent over-ripening and can last in there for up to 5 days.

• Mangoes have more flavour at room temperature, so take them out of the fridge an hour before eating.

• Excess mango can be diced or puréed and then frozen for up to six months.
