Tips for wisely choosing mangoes
The mango fruit has a variety of skin colors, green, yellow, and orange. In Indonesia itself, the most grown and cultivated mangoes are those with green skin.
Even though it is green, when it is ripe this mango fruit generally has a sweet taste.
So, to make your juice taste even better, make sure to use mangoes that are really ripe. When buying mangoes, choose fruit that is soft and not too hard when pressed.
Ripe mangoes also tend to have a strong aroma. Avoid buying mangoes which have lots of black spots on the skin.
