A Calypso™ Mango is ripe and ready to eat when the flesh gives slightly when pressed at the “beak” of the mango
Do the thumb test as shown – hold the mango in the palm of your hand and gently press the flesh with your thumb at the “beak” of the mango – opposite end to the stem.
They do not give off a strong aroma so don’t wait for the strong mango smell!!!

Always store unripe Calypso™ Mangoes at room temperature out of direct sunlight – never in the fridge!
Once fully ripe you can keep them in the fridge for up to 3 days but who can wait that long?

Cut the mango from the stem end keeping the knife very close to the stem – remember a Calypso™ Mango has a super small seed!
Slice off each cheek using a sharp knife. The knife should glide over the stone if the fruit is perfectly ripe
Score the flesh of the mango cheek into a diamond pattern
Using your hands, push the mango cheek inside out
Now you can eat the flesh straight from the cheek or cut off the cubes for use in all kinds of delicious recipes!
