What are some ways to ripen mangoes?

Mango is a very popular tropical fruit. As we all know, only when mango is ripe will it have a soft, sweet taste. However, if you buy mangoes online, in order to ensure that the mangoes are not damaged, most merchants will send half-ripe mangoes. After consumers receive the mangoes, they can take some methods to ripen the mangoes before eating them. So, what are the methods to ripen mangoes?

1. Ripening of mango

Artificial ripening is generally used to promote ripening. Mangoes are ripened in a ripening room. The temperature in the ripening room is controlled at 22℃ ~ 25℃, ventilation is good, straw is used for ripening, the fruits are arranged in a single layer, and each layer of fruits is separated by straw. Using this method, the ripened fruits are neat and uniform, and the color is bright. Generally, they can be ripened in 2 to 3 days at room temperature of 22℃ ~ 24℃. In addition, ethephon and abscisic acid treatments accelerate the ripening of mangoes and can lead to an increase in soluble sugar content, thereby improving quality.

2. Why do green mangoes turn yellow?

First find a bag or box. What I found here is a large cardboard box. Because the mango is a little big, the paper box is also a little bigger. Empty the contents and wipe clean with a clean towel, taking care to keep the box dry.

Then put the mangoes into the paper box one by one. Be careful to handle it with care and avoid excessive collision to avoid damaging the mangoes, which would be a pity if they rot easily.

After putting some of it in, leave some space in the middle of the mango. Then place a handful of bananas into the empty space. Be sure to buy ripe bananas, the more ripe the better. Ripe bananas can release a gas called ethylene, which has the effect of ripening and helps the mangoes to ripen.

Then continue putting the remaining mangoes into the paper box until all the mangoes are packed. Still need to handle it with care, especially be careful not to press too hard, and protect the banana from being squeezed.

Then, place a layer of newspaper or plastic bag on the mango to provide some separation. Cover the lid and place it in a warm corner. Wait for the mango to ripen before eating.

Ripe mangoes are really tempting and taste great. It just takes a little longer than medication. However, using bananas to ripen mangoes is safe and reliable, and there will be no other concerns. This is also a good ripening method!

3. Notes

Be patient and don't open the lid every day to check on the mangoes, which will affect the ripening time of the mangoes.
