Mangoes: A Tasty and Nutritional Powerhouse
Mangoes are not just delicious, but they are also packed with essential nutrients such as vitamins A and C, calcium, potassium, iron, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, magnesium, and many more. They are an excellent source of vitamin C, making them a nutritious and healthy fruit for humans.
During the summer, mangoes are abundantly available in markets, and those with mango trees often find themselves with an abundance of fruit. People typically wait for the mangoes to ripen and are ready to be picked when the fruit is mature and about to open its “eyes.” However, many people have shared their experiences of buying mangoes that never seem to ripen, leaving them unsure of how to get their fruit to ripen evenly and tastefully.
Ms. Thơm, a mango enthusiast, shared her experience with mangoes. She has an abundance of mango trees and has learned a unique technique to ripen mangoes evenly and deliciously.
Preparation:
– Mangoes
– Salt, sharp knife
Instructions:
To ensure even ripening without harming the tree, cut the mangoes when they are mature. Test their maturity by gently nicking the stem; if clear sap flows out quickly, they are ready. Leave a long stem when cutting. If you are buying mangoes from the market, the seller has already done this step for you.
A nick test on the stem showing clear and quick-flowing sap indicates the mango is mature.
After a day, cut the stem shorter to allow the sap to flow out completely. Then, using a sharp knife, make a hole the size of two finger joints on the mango.
Insert a teaspoon of salt into the hole and cover it. Store the mangoes in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place.
In just three days, your mangoes will ripen evenly, and you’ll be able to enjoy their delicious taste!
