Can someone tell me what color mangos should be when you eat them.?

Answer 1

On the peel, color's not always the best way to go. Try and (lightly) squeeze them. If they are soft (aka not rock solid;) made that mistake once...) then they should be okay to eat. On the inside, mangos should be a golden yellowy sort of color when they're at their best.

Answer 2

It all depends there are different types of mangoes coming from different regions of the tropics. I have had several different types of mangoes (Mexican, Puerto Rican, Haitian, Filipino, etc) Depending upon where the mango is from they come in different shapes and sizes. Some are small, some are big, some are more round, some are more oblong. Certain mangoes turn red when they are rip, some turn yellow, some more orange. Never eat a mango that is green, it is not ripe yet. Never eat a mango that is hard it is not ready to eat. I usually eat my mango when it is a somewhat soft. When it is too soft you will know it, it ends up being too overripe and messy to eat. Usually when it is ready you will be able to smell the sweetness of the fruit and the skin will be somewhat firm and soft at the same time..

Answer 3

The mango should be dark orange colored., and when you hold it in your hand, you can squeeze it a little but it still feels slightly firm. If it is too firm, it's not ripe enough.

Afterards cut the fresh mango lengthwise, along the pit. Once you learn to locate the mango pit, the rest is easy. The long, 1/2- to 3/4-inch-thick pit runs the length of the fruit between the two plump cheeks.

Without peeling, cut the fruit from the cheeks, as described above, score flesh into squares about 1/2- to 3/4-inch in size, cutting to, but not through, skin. Gently push the mango cheek inside out, pushing fruit cubes up and apart.
Cut chunks from the skin to serve.
(The skin can cause irritation, so it should not be eaten.)

How to store mangoes

Keep unripe mangoes at room temperature to ripen, which may take up to 1 week. A paper bag might help them ripen sooner, but they will not ripen at temperatures below 55 degrees F. Ripe mangoes can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or they can frozen, dried, cooked in syrup or puréed.

Hope this helps.

Answer 4

There are two types of mangoes (or rather two ways to eat them), green mangoes can be eaten; they are crisp like apples and can be peeled and eaten right off the tree. The yellow mango should be barely soft to the touch. To peel, "filet" the mango from the wide seed, score the meat, and turn the skin inside out, the meat will pop up as little squares which can be cut off easily. The thin end sides of the mango can then be cut away and removed from the skin.

Answer 5

My friend there are so many varieties of mangoes to choose from, not every mango comes colorful, my experience choosing a ripe mango is how soft it feels, this will tell you how good the mango is.Mangoes could be real colorful this dont mean it is a ripe mango so feel how soft it is,the softer the better not too soft.

Answer 6

The color of the inside should be orange. The color of the outside can vary. Mangoes when they are ripe will 'give' to a little pressure from your finger and should have a 'ripe' smell. If the mango feels hard, it isn't ripe.

Answer 7

Depend on the Mango you buy there's yellow and red.
A red Mango is supposed to be sweet the same with a yellow one except green that will be very sour

Answer 8

When you eat a mango you slice the hard peel from the outside and then eat the soft fruit. th color is self explanatory, mango which is slightly orangish but yellow like a peach.

Answer 9

Its not only by the color of the skin. They could be green, yellow, red etc. But they have to be soft when you apply a little pressure to them with your hand. If it feels soft and smells sweet then you have a good mango. The softer they are the riper and sweeter they will be.

Answer 10

mangos are ready to be eaten when they are a golden yellow close to orange, that means that they are ripe and ready, and sometimes on the skin of the mango i might be a bit red, but if it is completely green that means it's not ready is very sour.
