How to tell if a mango is ripe

A ripe mango feels firm to the touch but gives slightly when you press it.

• The fruit should be firm to the touch, but should slightly yield to pressure.
• The skin should be tight, not wrinkled.
• The skin may show areas of green, yellow, and red/orange.
• An unripe mango is usually green, sometimes with a reddish tinge near the stem.
