First things first, you need to choose a ripe mango. Now, you might be thinking, "How do I know if it's ripe?" Well, a ripe mango will be slightly soft to the touch, and it will have a sweet aroma - trust your nose on this one! You can also gently squeeze the mango; if it yields to pressure, it's ready to eat.
Once you've found the perfect mango, it's time to wash it up! Rinse the mango under cool running water to remove any dirt or bacteria. This is an important step, as you want to make sure your mango is clean and safe to eat.
