Malgova (Mulgoba) is known for its large shape and sweet scent. Native to Tamil Nadu, this mango has a smaller seed and is usually juicy. It retains its green texture with hints of red even after ripening.
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 color 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 them 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 center area, cut them immediately.
