Notes
Note:
Use fresh Ataulfo or Kent, which are available in season in most American supermarkets. Choose the nonfibrous type and go for fruit that is soft to the touch but still has some firmness to it, like how you'd choose a peach.
Color is not a good indication of ripeness; many red mangoes can be green inside, and others can be yellowish-green on the outside but ripe and sweet inside. Always go by feel instead of appearance.
