Mango: how to pick them from the tree?
« on: October 20, 2021, 05:02:30 PM »
I know some suggested that holding the fruit and tilt it a little and if it snapped off the stem then it's ready. This is a good way to judge its maturity, but snap off the stem near the fruit base will empty its blood (the oily juice with strong perfume and sometime sweet). I always cut the stem off with around 1/2" stem attached on fruit to prevent the juice flow out.

How do you pick them?
