Buy The Ripest Mangoes, Follow This Buying Guide 

By Deepali Verma 

Use this buying guide to pick out the juiciest, tastiest mangoes and make the most of the season. 

Mango variety 

Pick Alphonso, Dasheri Mango, or Kesar mangoes since they are the sweetest types. 

Check the color 

Mangoes at their peak ripeness have deep, saturated hues like golden yellow or rosy red. 

Gently squeeze 

When gently pressed, a ripe mango will give just a little. Mangoes that are excessively rough or soft should be avoided. 

Sniff the aroma 

Mangoes that are truly sweet have a powerful, enticing aroma. Believe your sense of smell to identify the tempting scent. 

Avoid blemishes 

Check the mango for signs of damage, such as cuts or mould. Choose fruit that hasn't been bruised or damaged. 

If you want the tastiest mangoes, you need to get them when they're in season.
