How To Select A Mango
Calypso® Ripening Guide
Did you know that our mangoes go through three stages of ripeness?
Stage One
Slightly firm with a green tinge — this mango is great for crunchy salads, pickling, or slicing into savoury dishes.
Stage Two
Softening slightly with a pale yellow glow and light freckles. Perfect for grilling, baking, or stir-frying into your favorite warm dishes.
Stage Three
Golden yellow with a soft touch and bold freckles — bursting with flavor and best enjoyed fresh, blended, or made into jam or dessert.
The Beak Test
Want to know if your Calypso® Mango is just right? Gently press the beak end — that’s the rounded tip opposite the stem. If it gives slightly to your thumb, it’s good to go!
If it feels too soft, it’s overripe but still perfect for purées or smoothies. If it’s still firm, give it a day or two to ripen at room temperature.
