🛒 Choosing it

A ripe mango gives slightly and smells fruity at the stem. Color isn't a good guide.

🧊 Storing it

Counter: Ripen on the counter
Fridge: 2 to 3 days once ripe
Freezer: 12 months, cubed

Keep the fridge at 40°F or below and the freezer at 0°F. Freezer times are for best quality; food kept frozen at 0°F stays safe. When in doubt, throw it out. Times from Rutgers Cooperative Extension.

🔪 Prepping it

Slice the cheeks off the flat pit, score in a grid, and scoop.
