Once honey mangoes are ripe, you should move them to the refrigerator to slow down the ripening process. Here's a detailed guide:
Storing Ripe Honey Mangoes
Ripe mangoes benefit from refrigeration. This extends their usability.
- Whole Mangoes: You can store whole, ripe honey mangoes in the refrigerator for up to five days.
Storing Cut Honey Mangoes
Cut mangoes need airtight storage to maintain quality.
- Refrigerated: Peel and cube the mangoes, then place them in an airtight container. They will last for several days in the refrigerator.
- Frozen: For longer storage, peel, cube, and freeze the mangoes in an airtight container. They can last up to six months in the freezer.
Here is a summary table for quick reference:
| Condition | Form | Container | Storage Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ripe | Whole | N/A | Up to 5 days |
| Cut | Cubed | Airtight Container | Several days |
| Frozen | Cubed | Airtight Container | Up to 6 months |
