Yo Nikhil that mango isn’t optimally ripe!
Real talk, mangoes can smell floral without being optimally ripe because ripeness isn’t binary it’s a spectrum. Each mango cultivar will smell differently when they’re ripe. What you’re looking for is the lack of tartness when you smell.
Also, Alphonso (aka Hapus) mangoes are not easily available stateside due to export control restrictions.
that mango may be soft but it's not ripe enough, you can tell it isn't sweet. it's also unevenly ripened
What kinda mangos are you buying that don't smell like mango. Mango is a fruit. Of course they're gonna smell like a fruit.
The mango he's cutting is not fully ripe…
This jeet has a fruity vibe
Oh god.. MY CHILDREN.
"When you're buying a mango, see if it has a fruity aroma" brother its fruit, of course it has a fruity aroma, ripe or not, what are we on about
I like cleaning the inside of the skin off with my teeth, wasting none of that mango goodness..
Always trust a brown person to advise on mangos 👍🏽
Alphonso and Manilla mangos are 🐐
Never heard of an Alfonso mango.
If the fruit has a nice fruity aroma is ripe. No way?
