How to Choose a ripe Mango
How a mango feels to the touch is the best indicator of its ripeness. Hold the mango and give it a squeeze.
Firm = Unripe
Gives Slightly = Ripe
Feels Soft = Unripe
A mango with black spots on it might be going bad. Give it a squeeze. If the mango feels squishy, then it is overripe. A mango that smells especially mango-ee might be ready to eat, too, but give it a squeeze because that is always the best way to tell when a mango is ripe for the eating.
How to cut a Mango
A mango has a large flat seed through its center. The seed is shaped like a disk and makes the fruit a pain to cut, but knowing where the seed is makes the task slightly easier. Firstly, wash the mango. A mango shape is more oval than round, with slightly wider cheeks on each side. Using the mango stem as the center, with a knife cut away the cheeks of mango on either side of the stem, leaving about a ¼ inch thickness in the center. You might feel the seed as you cut through the fruit, but just angle the knife blade around the seed, cutting as close as you can.
Take the seed and cut away the outer edges of mango, then cut the mango cheeks into roughly one 1 slices, and then pass the knife blade between the skin and the fruit, slicing the skin away as closely as possible.
Once mango begins to ripen, it has a very short shelf life, but it freezes very well, so eat all you wish, and freeze the rest for later. One of our favorite dishes to make with frozen mango is a refreshing mango lassi.
Ingredients for a Mango Lassi
2 cups frozen MANGO
1 cup plain YOGURT
MILK as needed
and sprinkle of ground CARDAMOM
How to Make a Mango Lassi
You can use fresh chopped mango, but frozen mango makes a lassi more like a chilly milkshake. Add the chopped mango and yogurt into a blender, then add ½ cup of milk and blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add more milk, if it is too thin, add more mango.
If the mango lassi isn’t sweet enough, add a little honey, or other sweet fruit. Frozen banana makes a nice sweet additive. If it’s too sweet, balance the smoothie out with a squeeze of lemon juice.
A traditional mango lassi is topped with ground cardamom, and a sprinkling on top is all you need. Sweet ripe mango is perfect for a smoothie, so give this mango lassi recipe a try
