Quality and ripeness

Airplane mangos are harvested when ripe and can be consumed immediately.

Use

Mangos taste fresh and rich with a spicy and exotic nuance. Mangos are delicious to eat as is. They also constitute an exotic ingredient in fruit salads and can be mashed for use in sorbets and ice cream. Mangos also taste great with smoked meat, Parma ham and smoked chicken or as a refreshing side for spicy dishes and curries. Ripe mangos can be mixed with chilli peppers for a delicious salsa. They are also perfect for juices and smoothies combined with orange, watermelon, pineapple, banana and papaya.
