sweetest mango: Mango is referred to as the king of fruits for good reason – the juicy texture and richness of flavor is delightful. However, selecting the sweetest mango is sometimes tricky because ripeness and variety factor into the taste, and whether you’re selecting them from a grocery store or a farmer’s market, are all important considerations. Here are some straightforward tips to keep you on track for selecting sweet mango.
Mangoes have various flavor profiles, and sweetness levels across different varieties. Some of the sweetest varieties are:
Alphonso (India) – Rich creamy texture with an earthy sweetness
Carabao (Philippines) – Often said to be the sweetest mango in the world
Ataulfo (Mexico) – Small, golden mangoes that taste like honey
Miyazaki (Japan) – Premium grade mangoes with high sugar content
Fresh mango color alone is certainly not a determinate of flavor but a developmental indicator. Mangoes that have yellow and orange make for good odds of being ripe for picking, versus green mangoes that lean toward sour. For other varieties such as Tommy Atkins yellows and reds change and can remain both red and green even when ripe; always check for additional factors.
A ripe and sweet mango should feel a little soft when pressed gently. If it feels too hard, it may need a little more time to ripen. Avoid soft, mushy mangoes, since these tend to be overripe, though some varieties are simply soft unless ripe.
Sweet mangoes will have an aroma that has a fruity and fragrant smell near the stem. If there is no smell from your mangoes, they may not have fully ripened yet. Sweet smelling mangoes indicate a high sugar content and flavorful taste if they were fully ripened and juicy.
If you find that your mangoes are not fully ripe yet, you can store them in a paper bag and at room temperature and allow them to ripen in this bag for a few days to speed up the process. When they have ripened, pop them in the fridge to maintain the texture a flavor.
