A tasty choice..

The mango is one of the best known Brazilian tropical fruit. Tasty and succulent, it can be enjoyed in several ways. But none of them outdoes the pleasure and ease of eating a mango in its natural state.
How to choose a ripe mango:

• The skin should be mostly reddish.
  
• If pressed gently, the mango should yield slightly.
  
• Avoid mangoes with greenish or grayish skin tones, or fruit with dark stains.
  
• Smell the mango near the stem. The perfume should be fresh and have a fruity aroma.
  
• How to eat mangoes in their natural state:
  
• With the fruit unpeeled, cut the mango into slices lengthwise, cutting as close as possible to the stone.
  
• Cut the pulp into cubes, but without slicing all the way through, making sure the pulp remains connected to the skin.
  
• Because the mango is very juicy, make sure you have some napkins at hand to clean of the juice.
