The methods for storing raw mangoes that are not easily damaged are as follows:
1. Refrigerated storage: Place raw mangoes in a sealed bag or container, squeeze out excess air, and then place them in the refrigerator compartment. Note that the temperature should not be too low to prevent the mango skin from turning black. This method can slow down the ripening speed of mangoes, but it is also important to regularly check the condition of mangoes to avoid spoilage caused by prolonged storage.
2. Ripening and preservation: If you want mangoes to ripen quickly but don't want them to spoil too quickly, you can try ripening and preservation methods. Put raw mangoes into paper bags or boxes, and add some ripe bananas or apples. The ethylene gas released by these fruits can accelerate the ripening process of mangoes. Seal the paper bag or cardboard box and place it in a warm place. Regularly check the ripeness of the mango. Once it is ripe, it can be consumed.
3. Room temperature storage: If there are not many mangoes and they are planned to be consumed in the short term, they can be stored at room temperature. Store mangoes in a cool, ventilated, and dark place, avoiding direct sunlight and high temperatures. At the same time, be careful not to stack mangoes too tightly to avoid mutual squeezing and damage. Regularly check the condition of mangoes and promptly address any signs of spoilage.
All of the above methods can help extend the shelf life of raw mangoes, but mangoes are tropical fruits with relatively short shelf lives. It is recommended to consume them as soon as possible to ensure optimal taste and nutritional value.
