Do you want to enjoy the spicy taste of raw mangoes all year round? Fortunately, you can freeze them and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a year. To do this, start by cutting the mango into slices after peeling it. Place the slices on a tray covered with a cloth or parchment paper to absorb additional moisture. Make sure that the pieces overlap or touch each other.
Then, transfer the mango pieces to a bowl with a flat surface and store them in the fridge for one hour without putting a lid on them. After an hour, take it out and separate the pieces that are glued together. Place them in a resealable bag or in a regular plastic cover. Fold the lid and store it in an airtight container.
Store this container in the refrigerator and your mangoes will be fresh for up to a year. It is important to note that while a mango that isn't yet ripe often lacks the juiciness and explosion of sweet, fruity flavors that mangoes are known for, overripe mangoes actually start to ferment and tend to taste and smell bitter. Therefore, it is important to choose ripe but not overripe mangoes for freezing.
