10 Recipes With Fresh Mangoes (1)

Season: In the U.S., high season spans from March to June, though you can get these fruits (often imported) during most of the year.
How to buy: Gently squeeze to judge ripeness—a little give means it's ready to eat (the color of the skin isn't an accurate indicator). A sour odor (or loose, wrinkly skin) is a tip-off that the fruit is past its prime and mushy.
How to store: Keep unripe mangoes on the counter until they soften slightly, or put them in a paper bag to speed the process.
Prep tips: Peel the mango, stand it up on the wider end and cut the flesh away from each side of the wide, flat pit.
Nutritional benefits: Mangoes are rich in vitamin C and cancer-fighting polyphenols.
