Mangos (or mangoes if you prefer) are becoming more and more popular both for fresh eating as well as in prepared dishes such as salads, sushi, as well as garnishes.

What happens if you can only get mangos that aren’t ripe yet? Can you speed up the ripening a bit? Yes - but it is exactly that - an improvement in ripening time that is only slight.

We tried 4 methods. One was left on the counter, one was wrapped in plastic wrap, one was put in a paper bag with an apple, closed and put on the counter, and the final one was buried in flour. After almost 5 days, the one in the plastic wrap and left untreated on the counter weren’t close to ripe. Both the flour-submerged and bagged mangos were ripe and ready to process.

The lesson learned? While you can speed up ripening a bit, it is still not a speedy process. You are much better off buying mangos that are ripe are almost ripe.
