SELECTING, STORING
		Mangifera indica

SEASON: All year with best supplies May through August.

LOOK FOR: Plump, yellowish or orange, oval or round fruit, sometimes with speckled skin, and fresh aroma. Ripe mangoes should yield slightly to gentle pressure on the skin. (Unripe mangoes have very poor flavor.) Avoid soft or shriveled fruit and fruit with bruises or large black spots.

TO STORE: Let mangoes ripen at room temperature; then refrigerate and use them within 2 to 3 days. Keep refrigerated until ready to sere, as mangoes taste best when cold.
