Oh… I saw loads of mangoes… but I don’t know how to choose… those I thought looked ripe, will end up having ‘overripe’ centers… those a little green, end up not ripening evenly… any tips? I’m terrible at choosing fruits… so my kids only eat grapes and durian… the rest of the fruits they eat in childcare…

Wow, where do you see the loads of mangoes?

I usually choose 2 different sets of mangoes. The first would be the ripe ones which I want to eat the same day or the next day.

Then I'll choose some semi ripe ones so that I can keep and eat them 3-4 days later.

I saw them at cold storage as well as my nearby market. How do u know that they r ripe? The ones at cold storage were round w red n orange hues. Some were big n long n yellow. Does a dark yellow mean that its ripe?

[Mrsbongz]

Oh n how do u keep the mangoes? In the fridge or kitchen counter? Tia!!

my family loves to have mango on sticky glutinous rice with cononut milk (thai dessert)

Outside before they ripen and once they ripen in the fridge.

I bought some Rumani mangoes from Finest last week. Apparently, they are from India. When I went back this week, they were not to be seen. I was told that a new shipment will arrive but don't know when.


To me, they are the best that I have tried. Even surpassing the Alphonso range. My own personal opinion.

Please give a shout out here or in my thread if you come across these mangoes. For them, I will travel.
