Sweet or Rotten? This Viral Mango Test Reveals What’s Inside Before You Slice It (X)
New Delhi: Mango season has begun and the biggest challenge for mango lovers is knowing which mango is sweet or rotten inside. Mango varieties vary, and sometimes even determining whether a mango is good or not can be difficult. Some mango varieties look fresh but are rotten inside. Malihabadi, Chaunsa, and Dusseheri, each mango variety has its own unique story.
A video explaining the solution to this problem is now rapidly going viral on social media. In the video, an Instagram user Tejashree Thakur shows a method for buying mangoes that has people saying, "I wish I had known this trick earlier."
In the video, Tejashree is seen sitting at a mango shop and explaining that sometimes mangoes look perfectly fine on the outside, but when cut open, they turn out to be black or rotten inside. She then asks the shopkeeper how to identify a good mango.
The shopkeeper picks up a few mangoes and then starts to explain how to differentiate between good and bad mangoes. In the video, he explained that many bad mangoes look perfectly fine on the outside. Then he demonstrates by lightly pressing one.
According to the shopkeeper, if the mango immediately springs back to its shape when pressed, it could be a sign that mango is not good. He demonstrates this trick on two or three mangoes and advises against buying overly soft mangoes.
The video also shows a mango that appeared almost perfect on the outside, with only a small blemish. Tejashree thought it was perfect, but when she cut it open, it turned out to be rotten inside. The shopkeeper explained that sometimes even slight blemishes can be a sign of something bad inside.
Food experts also agree that when buying a mango, one shouldn't judge solely by its color. According to them, the mango's aroma, weight, and the texture of its peel also reveal a lot. If the mango smells sweet and feels heavy in the hand, it's more likely to be good. However, a mango that is too squashed or shriveled is often bad from inside.
Now, people on social media are calling this video very useful. Many users say that these small tips can be very useful when buying mangoes in the summer. If you too want to choose the perfect sweet mango this season, then pay attention to these things next time you go to the market.
