Need some pointers before you head to the grocery store? Here are some tips for picking ripe juicy mangos that will give this salsa the best flavor. Head to the produce section and find the perfect mango every single time. There are a variety of mango variations, but these are general steps to look for the best produce.
Color – Make sure your mangos are vibrant in color. Now depending on the variety the color can vary a bit. But you want a nice deep color for your mangos.
Smell – Grab your fresh mangos and sniff them near the stem end. Ripe mangos will offer a sweet aroma where you can smell the fruit. If it smells sour or foul, that means it is possibly spoiled.
Firmness – Make sure to lightly squeeze the mango in your hands. You want it to have a slight give when you squeeze but still a bit firm. If it is really mushy or soft, that means it is overripe or spoiled.
Blemishes – One thing to look for is wrinkling of the skin or bruises or blemishes. This is a sign that the fruit within could be spoiling. Smooth skin on your fruit is a must.
