When you buy mangoes, generally they are green or green with a little bit of red on them. And when you ripen them at home you will have to wait until they turn yellowy and ready. When you want to buy a ripe mango in the store, the best sign of a really nice ripe mango to look for is that its color is red, just like in our Ripe Mango Gradient cursor pack! If you can buy a mango that’s all red, then that’s going to be really sweet and juicy and one of the best mangoes you’ve ever tasted.
