How to Freeze Mangoes

Mangoes are tropical fruits and sweet in taste. They are best served freshly cut in fruit salads, smoothies, or as a frozen snack. Like papayas, mangoes are also commonly found as a breakfast side dish. Freezing mangoes are the best method to prepare a large quantity to store.

Steps

  1. Select ripe mangoes to use. Gently put a very small amount of pressure on them to ensure the hardness of the fruit. Use your touch sense when comparing ripeness, not the color of it.
