If there’s one fruit that can beat any dessert thanks to its exotic flavor and versatility, it’s the mango. Because the fruit contains a lot of water and natural sugar, … It’s the perfect snack when you want to eat something sweet while still feeling full. It is rich in minerals, group A and B vitamins, especially folic acid, and minimal vitamin C, carotene and dietary fiber. In addition, mangoes contain valuable bioactive compounds, including phenolic compounds, which are powerful antioxidants.
Chef Bosque remembers that when choosing mangoes, you can tell if they are ripe by checking the aroma they give off. If it has a sweet scent without opening it, has a firm texture, but has a slight scent when squeezed, it is a good product.
Regarding storage, please note that it should be stored at room temperature in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Another note: Storing it with fruits such as apples can speed up ripening.
