Famous mango from Andhra Pradesh, Baganapalli is known for a deep tarty flavour combined with hints of spicy-melon notes. The mango usually has hints of green and can be either green-yellow, orange-yellow, or red yellow when ripe.
How do you know if a mango is ripe:
1. Take the mango and gently squeeze; a ripe mango has soft flesh and doesn’t feel hard
2. A ripe mango also gives out a sweet, citrusy aroma when it’s ready for consumption
3. Focus on the feel and not the colour as some mangoes stay green even when they’re ripe.
4. If mangoes turn wrinkly, they usually mean that they’ve become overripe.
Additional instructions:
Remove mangoes from the box; store it in a dry place at room temperature
Put the ripened mangoes in water half an hour before consumption.
If mangoes start turning black at the top centre area, cut them immediately.
