2. HOW LONG MANGO COULD BE STORED?

Or how many days we could hold a mango from mature green to ripen? For our R2E2 mangoes, maximum around three weeks, yes, around 21 days of shelf life. This is why R2E2 is suitable for exporting which is need long-day traveling over sea. But it depends on how we do during these stages of mango. It includes 6 stages as below:

Six stage of mangoes from mature green to absolute ripen. Green mature mean that after this stage, mango can continue ripen after cut it down of tree. The opposite is call immature green/fruit.

After stage 6, ripen mangoes could be store at cool temperature as 18-20*C for several days.

TIP: Allow firm fruit to ripen at room temperature, never in the fridge.

5. WHY MY MANGO IS TOO SLOW RIPEN?

Green ripe fruit can be caused by excessive nitrogen fertilizing, canopy hading (inside fruit do not yellow fully), picking immature fruit or high ripening temperatures above 24°C.

These are frequently problems of mangoes. Some detected on tree, some detected during stage from suppliers to buyers.

8. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF EATING MANGOES?

Mangoes are high in energy, low in fat, have a low Glycemic Index rating and are good sources of calcium and vitamins essential for good health. A 200-g serve of ripe mango provides up to three times the recommended daily intakes of Vitamin A and Vitamin C. Vitamin C, an antioxidant important in protecting the body from infection, is required in the formation of collagen, a protein that gives structure to bones, cartilage, muscle, and blood vessels. Vitamin C also aids the absorption of iron, necessary for transporting oxygen from the lungs to cells all around the body. Mangoes also provide more beta-carotene than any other fruit and are a rich source of fiber and potassium. Beta-carotene is a powerful antioxidant that can help to protect the body against disease and also fight the signs of ageing by assisting with the growth and repair of cells, tissues and skin.
