How to ripen green mango

1. Fruit ripening

You can use ripe fruits at home to ripen them. The best choices are apples or ripe bananas. Because these ripe fruits will emit some ethylene when stored, green mangoes will mature quickly after absorbing ethylene. That is, put the ripe fruits and green mangoes in a plastic bag, tie the mouth tightly, and put it in a warm place. After a few days, it will turn yellow and ripen.

2. Rice Ripening

Using rice to ripen green mangoes is also a good choice. Because rice will also produce some ethylene gas when it is stored, and this ethylene is an important substance for ripening green mangoes. Therefore, after buying green mangoes, you can go home and bury them in rice. When you take them out after three or four days, you will find that the mangoes have become fully ripe.

3. High temperature ripening

Mango can produce ethylene gas on its own, and this respiration is greatly affected by temperature. Therefore, you can seal the green mangoes in a plastic bag and place it in a place with higher temperature, such as near a stove or heater, to ripen them.

4. Ethylene ripening

After purchasing green mangoes, if the quantity is large, such as some merchants, it is recommended to use drugs to ripen them. For example, ethephon is one of the most commonly used ripening drugs. This drug does not cause much harm to humans when used in small amounts. You can dilute it and spray it directly on the surface of green mangoes, and then cover the green mangoes with some objects. After two days, the green mangoes will all turn yellow.

Tips: If you are not in a hurry to eat the raw mango, you just need to leave it naturally, without even exposing it to the sun. The mango will ripen obviously.

How to tell if a green mango is ripe

When the fruit turns yellow and soft, it is usually ripe. However, there is also a green mango variety. The color remains green from beginning to end, even when it is ripe, so it is difficult for ordinary people to judge whether the green mango is ripe. So, how do you tell if a green mango is ripe? In fact, no matter whether it is a green mango, red mango or yellow mango, as long as it softens evenly when pressed (kneaded) by hand (some mangoes become soft in the middle and tip, but the stem is still hard, indicating uneven ripening), it is ripe.
