If you’re still not sure, channel your inner bargain hunter. Walk past the pre-cut mango cups in the plastic containers. Those are often made from under-ripe, crunchy mangos that they slice up to look bigger.
Invest in the whole fruit. Let it sit on your counter for a day or two if it’s a little firm. When it smells sweet and yields to pressure, then you win. It’s a small act of patience that pays off big.
So next time you’re in that produce aisle, don’t panic. Squeeze, sniff, and look. You are now a mango detective. Go get your treasure.
