Mangoes
Storage: The ideal post harvest storage temperature for
mangos is 55º F. When stored properly a mango should have a
shelf life of 1 to 2 weeks. The best way to ripen a mango is
at room temperature, on the kitchen counter and if you wish to
accelerate the process place in a paper bag overnight (some
folks place an apple with the mango in the bag to create more
natural ethylene gas and further decrease the ripening time).
Once ripened the mango can be refrigerated for a few days, but
should be used shortly thereafter.
