Use & preparation
- If too many of your mangos ripen at once: Peel the fruit, cut into small pieces and freeze. Use the frozen cubes to make smoothies or combine with frozen bananas to make ice cream. Just add to a high-speed blender while still frozen and blend.
- Add to curries for a fruity kick or use pickled mangos to make a chutney.
Storage & shelf life
Store the fruit at room temperature in a well-ventilated area. It loses its flavour when stored in the refrigerator. Mangos will keep for about six to ten days. They ripen faster when stored near apples or pears. The mangos are ripe once they become intensely fragrant and their flesh gives slightly when pressed. Check your mangos for bruises and minor damage as soon as you receive them. Eat any damaged or ripe ones first.
TRAORÉ OUO
FARMER FROM TOUSSIANA, BURKINA FASO
Our goal is to expand the orchards for our children to cultivate later.
Traoré Ouo lives with her husband and four children in the village of Toussiana. "In addition to mangos and cashew nuts, we grow maize and sell it on the local market. It's especially important for me to be able to send my children to school," says the farmer. "Three of my children are still in school and my eldest son already has a job, so they can't help us with the work in the fields. That's why everyone in the neighbourhood supports each other."
