How to pick a perfect mango?

When selecting a mango, please make sure you get a little bit of a squeeze, it should be a bit soft. If you get a fruit that is too soft, it will get messy and hard to cut. On the other hand, if you pick a mango that is too hard you won’t be able to enjoy the full taste of it, and it will be hard to cut. More ripe fruits will have yellow/red color all around, but of course you can get one with some green and let it sit for a few days.
