Learn how to keep your mangoes fresh with these 7 simple tips! From proper storage to handling techniques, make the most out of your mangoes and enjoy them at their peak freshness

Mangoes should be stored at room temperature until they ripen. Placing them in a paper bag can speed up the ripening process.

Once ripe, mangoes can be stored in the refrigerator to slow down the ripening process and extend their shelf life
 

Mangoes bruise easily, so handle them gently to avoid damaging the fruit

Moisture can cause mangoes to spoil quickly. Make sure they are dry before storing them, and avoid washing them until you're ready to eat them

Mangoes release ethylene gas, which can speed up the ripening of other fruits nearby. Store them separately from other fruits to prevent them from over-ripening

Regularly check your mangoes for any signs of spoilage, such as mold or a fermented smell. Remove any spoiled mangoes immediately to prevent them from affecting others

If you can't consume all your mangoes before they start to over-ripen, consider freezing them. Peel and slice the mangoes, then place the pieces on a baking sheet
