General information

What are the types of mangoes? Like the fruit trees of central Russia, the mango plant is divided into species.

The common name is mango tree or Indian Mangifera. India and Pakistan are considered the birthplace of this tree. However, it is cultivated in all hot subtropical and tropical countries. It belongs to evergreen plant species.

There are the following varieties:

• curry - small non-varietal fruits, greenish peel, orange tough pulp;
• chok anan - fruits of light yellow color inside and outside, by weight and shape easily fit in the hand;
• kae savoy - large mangoes, they are eaten in a greenish form.

These are not all varieties of fruit trees, there are at least 9-10 of them. But now is not about that.

Home storage methods

There are a variety of ways to preserve dates.

Fridge

One of the most suitable places for storing a product is the refrigerator. The fruits should be placed in glass jars. It is also acceptable to use plastic containers. The prepared product should be placed in the refrigerator. In such conditions, fruits can lie for several months. At the same time, their taste and benefits will be preserved. The temperature regime should be 0 ... + 5 degrees.

Freezing

Freezing is allowed fresh and dried fruits. To do this, it is recommended to place them in a plastic container or pack them in bags. At the same time, you should not wash the dates. In this form, fruits can lie for 5 years and retain the main amount of nutrients.

Fresh

When buying fruits in a cardboard box, it is permissible to put them in the refrigerator in it. If the fruits were purchased in a different container, they can be transferred to a paper bag. The best option for storing dates is a shelf under the freezer. The temperature regime in this compartment should be 0 degrees.

Fresh fruit should be washed before eating. This is due to the fact that today fruits are often treated with harmful chemicals to increase shelf life.If there is a white coating on the surface of the fruit or they exude an unpleasant odor, the product will have to be thrown away.

Pressed

It is permissible to keep pressed dates in room conditions, since they have been subjected to a special treatment - pasteurization. To avoid drying out the products, they are wrapped in paper. You can also use a plastic bag. It is undesirable to keep dates in the light. It is recommended to put them in a dark and cool place. The shelf life of the product can be seen on the packaging. It retains its freshness for a long time. However, experts advise eating such dates within 1 year.

Dried

To preserve dried fruits, you should follow these steps:

1. Place dried fruits in a glass jar or plastic container with a tight lid. Thanks to this, they will not be weathered, absorb foreign odors or be attacked by insects.
2. Place the container in the refrigerator. It is worth choosing a compartment with a temperature of 0 degrees.
3. It is not recommended to mix dates with other fruits. Each variety has its own moisture parameters. Such a neighborhood will lead to damage to the fruit.
4. Do not wash dried fruits before storing them. This will cause the protective oily layer to be removed. Such fruits will quickly deteriorate.
5. Rinse dates in hot water before consuming them. This will help remove pathogens from their surface.

Optimal storage conditions at home

The storage time of pineapple is influenced by the parameters of temperature and humidity.

The initial state of the fruit is of no small importance.

Fresh

To maximize the shelf life of fresh fruit, follow these guidelines:

1. Keep the fruit in the refrigerator. This is best done in the vegetable compartment.
2. The optimum temperature for the fruit is + 8-10 degrees. Lower settings result in loss of flavor. If they are higher, there is a risk of rapid damage to the fetus.
3. Humidity should be 90%. A decrease in this indicator leads to the wilting of the fruit. If you keep pineapple in a higher humidity environment, it molds.
4. Before storage, pineapple must be wrapped in paper. It is recommended to leave a small hole. When the packaging becomes wet, it is recommended to change it immediately.
5. Instead of paper, it is permissible to use a bag. In this case, it is worth making a large number of holes in it in order to avoid decay processes.

If the refrigerator has a special compartment for storing fruit, pineapple can be kept fresh even longer.

Canned

This fruit has excellent taste and pleasant aroma. The jar also contains a sweet syrup that can be drunk or used in cooking. Canned fruits keep well for 1 year. After opening the jar, it is recommended to use them within 24 hours. Otherwise, there is a risk of active reproduction of fungi and bacteria.

Dried

This pineapple contains fewer nutrients and vitamins than fresh pineapple. However, it has a long shelf life and good taste. Dried slices can be stored for 8-10 months.

Features of storing exotic fruit

Mango is one of the most popular plants in India and some other Asian countries. Its fruits have a distinct sweet taste. The yellow or orange pulp with a fibrous structure is hidden under the red, yellow or greenish skin. This exotic fruit is rich in vitamins, minerals, plant fiber, proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Therefore, it is widely used for medicinal and prophylactic purposes. In order to fully preserve the taste and healing properties, it is necessary to store the mango in a proper way.

> In relation to this fruit, three storage options are applied, which should be selected based on its condition:

• at room temperature;
• in the refrigerator, pantry or cellar;
• in the freezer.

Fresh ripe mango fruits can be stored reliably for up to one week, subject to the temperature regime within + 3-5 ° C. During the entire storage period, fruit stocks should be regularly inspected for spoilage.

It is extremely undesirable to store overripe specimens, since even being in the refrigerator, they quickly darken and lose their properties. Unripe fruits should not be placed in the refrigerator, as they will not be able to acquire their characteristic sweet taste even when ripe.

How to store mangoes correctly

At room temperature

Ripe mango will remain fresh and usable at temperatures between + 15 ° C and + 25 ° C for 2-3 days. Place the fruit in a dark place, avoiding contact with other fruits. Wrap newspaper or parchment paper to absorb excess moisture.

In fridge

The optimum temperature for storing mango in the refrigerator is from +3 to +5 ° C. The modern refrigerators have a special area for fruits and vegetables. It is constantly ventilated and maintained at the right temperature.

Mangoes are best stored in this area. If there is no such place in your refrigerator, then leave the fruits on the middle shelf. Store the mango under these conditions for no more than a week.

The fruit will stay fresh for about 10 days if you wrap it in parchment paper.

In the refrigerator, mangoes should be stored at temperatures between +3 ° C and +5 ° C.

Mango can also be stored in the freezer. Cut the fruit into small pieces or grate it, then place it in a plastic bag or food-grade plastic container. You can pre-fill the fruit with sugar syrup. Be sure to freeze the mango in small portions to avoid re-cryo-processing.

Cut

Mangoes with damaged skin begin to deteriorate quickly. It should only be stored in a refrigerator at a temperature not exceeding +5 ° C. Brush the slice of fruit with lemon juice and place on a plate. This will prevent the pulp from turning black.

Wrap the mango on top with cling film and place in the refrigerator. You can use a container for storing lemons if it fits. Under these conditions, the cut mango will remain usable for 24 hours.

Unripe

If the fruit is solid, without a characteristic sweetish odor, then it is unripe. It is necessary to store the mango in the sun for it to mature. Pre-wrap the fruit with paper and place it on a windowsill or balcony. Bring the fruit into the apartment at night. In this mode, it will ripen within 3-5 days, depending on at what stage of ripeness you bought it.

You can also store the mango at room temperature so that it ripens. It will take a little longer - up to 2 weeks. You can speed up the process by using an apple or banana, which release ethylene. Just keep this fruit next to the mango. In this case, it will become soft, sweet and aromatic in just a few days.

If you put an unripe mango in the refrigerator, it will stay fresh for 2 months under these conditions.

other methods

Drying is suitable for long-term storage. Prepare sugar syrup and blanch the fruit pieces in it. Their thickness should not exceed 3 mm. Then preheat the oven to + 40 ° C and place the mango pieces there on a baking sheet lined with parchment.

Bake the pulp for 20-30 minutes, making sure it doesn't burn regularly. Leave the oven door ajar. Store ready-made dried fruits at room temperature or in the refrigerator. You can also dry the mango in the sun. Cut the fruit into thin slices and place in a single layer in the sun.

Dry the mango until brown.

In Thailand, a strong salt or sugar solution is used for long-term storage of fruits. The fruit is soaked in it until the skin loses its color and becomes crispy.You can also make confiture, marshmallow, marmalade or jam from them.

The rules for storing mango at home are quite simple. Try to keep it away from direct sunlight. Remember to store these fruits in a cool and well-ventilated area.

Diseases and pests - ways to deal with them

Like all fruit crops, the mango tree is susceptible to various diseases. And also the plant is attacked by pests.

Anthracnose

The fungus affects only the aerial part of the culture. A distinctive feature is its rapid spread, which occurs with the help of wind, insects, dew and rain.

Most often, trees that have wounds or damage are affected. Since it is through them that the infection penetrates.

Signs:

• Whitish spots appear on the leaf blades. Sometimes brown.
• The spots are framed by a dark rim. They gradually grow in different directions and after a while merge.
• With high humidity, the disease manifests itself in the form of cracks in the stems, which will soon rot. As a result, the plant dies completely.
• In dry climates, the lesion destroys the mango much faster. Sick stems break in a weak wind.

Infected branches and leaves are immediately removed and burned. Cumulus DF will help to cope with the disease.

Bacteriosis

It is characterized by darkening of the edges of the foliage. The surface becomes wrinkled. As a result, the leaf turns black, but still adheres to the branches.

Prevention and control:

• before planting, the bone is kept in Agata-25K solution for a quarter of an hour;
• the affected parts are cut off, 5 centimeters of healthy tissue are also removed;
• the cut is coated with copper sulfate;
• "Trichodermina" granules are introduced into the ground.

Powdery mildew

A gray-white coating on the leaves that resembles flour is a sign of powdery mildew. Over time, it becomes darker, and a cloudy liquid begins to stand out from the tissue. The foliage is usually affected, but the disease can also spread to the fruit. As a result, they will crack and rot.

Prevention:

• the tree is sprayed with fungicides twice a month; diluted wood ash is also suitable;
• for treatment is treated with "Topaz".

Spider mite

The insect braids the tops of the shoots with thin threads, on which beige dots appear over time. Over time, the affected areas lose color and dry out. Daily spraying with clean water will help to save the plant. This method works at the first appearance of pests, when they have not yet had time to breed. Acaricide "Neoron" is used for treatment. You will have to process it three times a month.

Shield

Shoots and foliage are covered with oval outgrowths of a brown hue. Insects are lubricated with kerosene and removed by hand. For prevention, it is recommended to wipe the plant every week with a rag dipped in vodka and sprinkle with garlic infusion.

Aphid

Green-yellow insects settle on the top of young leaves, shoots and buds. The pest drinks the sap of the plant. As a result, the affected areas turn yellow, dry out and fall off. With small numbers of aphids, you can defeat pests manually. Just crush them with your fingers. In case of a massive attack, they fight with general-action insecticides.

Thrips

A pattern appears on the leaves in the form of silvery strokes. Small black sticks are visible on the surface - these are pests that Tanrek will help get rid of. If you follow all the recommendations, you will be able to grow a strong tree on your own and soon get a harvest.

How and how much can you store

There are several ways to store mangoes, each with a different duration.

At room temperature

Room temperature varies from +15 to +25 degrees Celsius. In such conditions, ripe mango fruits are stored for up to three days. Place the fruit in a dark place. So that they do not come into contact with each other, you should first wrap each of them with parchment paper - this will also allow you to absorb all excess moisture.

In the pantry, mangoes can be stored for up to five days up to +12 degrees.

In fridge

The mango will last up to one week in the refrigerator. For this, the fruit in a paper bag must be placed on the middle shelf. You can increase the storage period to ten days by placing the fruit wrapped in parchment paper in a special niche with enhanced ventilation.

In the freezer

In the freezer, the mango will retain its properties longer. It is recommended to use small portions of fruit for this.

The principle of operation is as follows:

1. Peel the mango and then grate or cut into small pieces of approximately the same size.
2. Pour in the sugar syrup.
3. Place in a food container.

At temperatures from -18 to -24 degrees, the fruit can be stored for up to three months.

How mango ripens at home

Where to put the mango for ripening? If you bought a deliberately unripe fruit, leave it at room temperature on a tray next to bananas or apples. After 3-4 days it will "come" and become soft.

There are a few simple ways to speed up ripening using newspaper or baking paper and cereals.

Paper wrapping

If you bought a green mango, how to make the fruit ripe? Paper will help to ripen the mango quickly. Wrap it in regular newspaper or baking parchment and place it in a dark place at room temperature. After 24-48 hours, it will become soft and a fruity aroma will appear.

Wrapping the mango with an apple or banana will speed up the process by increasing the release of ethylene.

Ripening with cereals

Indian housewives use a proven method of ripening mango: put it in a bowl, saucepan or bag of raw rice. Under such conditions, the fruit does not ripen in a few days, but in just a couple of hours. For example, if you put a mango in rice in the morning, in the evening, maximum by the next morning, you will get ripe fruit. Experienced housewives advise to look into the container every 3-7 hours to prevent overripening.

How to ripen a mango? Not only rice will help, but also corn grains or cereals. This method is practiced by Mexican housewives.

Storage at room temperature

You can store mango at home so as not to spoil without a refrigerator. The fruit will retain its presentation, taste and nutrients for five days. The storage temperature is not higher than 10 degrees, otherwise the fruit will start to deteriorate.

It's important to know!

Mangoes can be stored in an apartment if the fruit has been heat-treated.

Heat treatment methods for tropical fruits:

• confiture, jam;
• slices boiled in sugar syrup;
• marshmallow, marmalade, candied fruit;
• drying.

Mangoes are in the tropics, like apples in Russia, so the product can be easily canned, and recipes for mango blanks are similar to recipes for blanks from fruits we are used to.

Exotic Mango Jam Recipe

Mango jam is boiled if the fruit is already overripe or not yet ripe.Otherwise, it is better to eat the product fresh in order to get the maximum vitamins.

Ingredients:

• 1 kilogram of mango;
• 700 grams of sugar;
• juice of one lemon.

Cooking method

The fruits must be washed, dried, peeled and pitted. The fruit is cut into medium pieces, covered with sugar and sent to the basin for 5-6 hours for the fruit to let the juice out.

After the fruits have let in a sufficient amount of juice, the bowl with the exotic fruit is put on the fire and brought to a boil. Boil the jam for 5-7 minutes, add lemon juice, pour into clean jars and roll up.

The jam according to this recipe will turn out to be liquid. If you want to cook thick jam, then boil the mango for 20 minutes over low heat. Without pasteurization, mango retains its qualities for 6 months.

Drying in an electric dryer

Dried mangoes are used in muesli or as a snack.

Drying steps:

• the fruit is washed, dried, cut into slices 5 mm thick;
• the drier tray is filled in one layer;
• to check the readiness of the dish, the slice is torn in half, if the juice is not released when pressed, then the fruit is dried correctly.

Culture propagation methods

Growing a new mango is no big deal. As a rule, seeds are used for this. Such plants, most likely, will not yield a crop, especially if these are varietal mangoes bred by breeding, but then it will be quite possible to graft a cutting or a bud from a fruiting tree on them.

Mango seeds are best taken from large, slightly overripe fruits.

Growing mango from seeds

Harvesting from seed-grown mangoes will take a long time. As practice shows, the fruits on such trees, if they ripen, are small and not too tasty.

Seeds are best taken from large ripe (preferably even slightly overripe) fruits. It is advisable that the fruit be plucked from the tree, and not bought in a store. The seeds are thoroughly cleaned of pulp and inspected for cracks and other damage. If none were found, the seed must be planted within 2-3 days until the seed has dried.

When this is not possible, they must be placed in a container filled with moist peat, sand or sawdust. In this form, they remain viable for up to two months. The best time to plant seeds is early summer.

Then they act like this:

1. The seeds are soaked for several hours in a pale pink solution of potassium permanganate or any fungicide of biological origin for disinfection. Then, with a sharp knife, the outer shell is opened and the core is removed. If the fruit was ripe enough, this will be quite easy. In the process, you need to be as careful as possible so as not to damage the seed. The embryos should be white and smooth. Only in this case can one hope that they will sprout.

2. The seeds are placed in moist sphagnum moss or coconut fiber for germination. You can also use water at room temperature, but you will have to change it 2-3 times a day. The process usually takes 15-25 days. Some growers do not recommend removing the outer shell from the seed. But practice shows that this does not particularly affect germination.

3. Sprouted seeds are planted in small but deep pots filled with a mixture of fertile turf, humus and sand (2: 2: 1). A drainage layer is required at the bottom. The seeds must be completely covered with soil. The optimum temperature for them is 22–25 ° C. It also requires a day of light with a duration of at least 12-14 hours. To create a greenhouse effect, the containers are covered with glass or polyethylene, removing it daily for 5-10 minutes for ventilation.

4. Seedlings appear in 6-8 weeks. In the first six months, seedlings develop slowly, but then they begin to very actively add in growth. Further care for them consists in regular watering (the soil should always be slightly moist) and the introduction of fertilizers, mainly nitrogen-containing.

5. Once every 2-3 weeks, mangoes are watered with a 2-3% solution of carbamide, ammonium sulfate or ammonium nitrate. They need to be alternated with potassium humate, biohumus, Epin. Growing trees are transplanted annually using the soil of the same composition.

How to store mango at home

Fresh fruit is stored for one week. For the best preservation of the fruit, the room should be cool. The optimum storage temperature for the fruit is 10 degrees. If you buy an unripe fruit, you can store it for 2 months at a temperature not exceeding 12 degrees, and an air humidity of 90%.

Advice!

In order for an unripe mango to ripen, it is stored in a dark place, wrapped in parchment.

The density of the fruit affects the preservation of nutrients during storage, so when buying it is better to choose a fruit with a dense texture.

How to store fruit in the refrigerator

The current generation refrigerators are equipped with a shelf for storing fruit. This compartment allows you to keep food in the refrigerator. If the fruit is wrapped in parchment and left in the refrigerator on a common shelf, then the shelf life increases to one decade.

If the fruit has already been cut, then it should be stored for no more than 24 hours in the cold. It is best to pour the cut with lemon juice and wrap the treat in plastic wrap. The cling film will prevent contact with oxygen. Otherwise, the fruit inside and outside will begin to blacken.

Freezer for long-term storage

If the product cannot be eaten immediately, then it can and should be frozen. The fruit retains its beneficial properties frozen for 2-3 months. For storage, the fruit can be cut in half, with the need to remove the stone or cut into figured ones of your own free will.

The frozen product can be used for smoothies, cocktails, baked goods, decorating dishes, compotes.

How to keep mangoes at home?

Not so long ago, mango was considered a very scarce exotic fruit that only a select few could find on the table. Now this product can be found on the shelves of almost every fruit store.

Despite the growing popularity, many housewives still do not know how to properly store mangoes. Where and how much to store the product so that it lasts longer? It all depends on several factors, and primarily on the degree of maturity of the product.

Choosing a fruit

Often inexperienced housewives believe that the ripeness of the fruit can be determined by the color of its rind. This judgment has nothing to do with the real state of affairs. In fact, the color of the peel of the fruit depends only on its variety, and ripe specimens can be either yellow or green.

What, then, should you pay attention to when choosing a product?

• First, you need to sniff the object. A fully mature specimen has a rich sweet aroma. In an unripe fruit, this aroma is absent.
• Secondly, you need to lightly press on the fetus. The fruit that has not reached the peak of maturity will be completely hard, such a specimen must still lie down. The ripe product, when pressed, shows the firmness of the pulp.
• Thirdly, its shape is also important when choosing a delicacy. It is better to choose smooth, rounded fruits with smooth intact skin.

When choosing a product based on the above tips, you need to take into account the purpose of the acquisition. If you need to eat the fruit right away, then you should look for the most mature options, in the case when the product needs to be bought for future use, it is better to choose the fruits of incomplete maturity.

Store exotic fruit

What is the best way to store mango from Thailand? For some reason, many believe that this fruit cannot be stored in the refrigerator. And this opinion is wrong again. Where an exotic stock is stored determines its maturity.

A well-ripe fruit must be stored at low temperatures. In a warm place, and especially in the sun, ripe mangoes should never be stored.

The fruit becomes soft and under the influence of a large amount of sugar inside it, the fermentation process begins and the multiplication of bacteria that can cause human diseases.

But the immature representative just does not tolerate the cold. In a cool room, the ripening process is inhibited. Therefore, it is better to place immature specimens in conditions of room temperature to ripen, after which you can store them in the refrigerator.

How to keep for a long time?

How to keep mangoes longer? Yellow fruits can be stored for a long period, provided that they are dried or frozen.

Freezing

To properly freeze a mango, it must be peeled and pitted. Freezing whole fruit is not recommended. The frozen pulp can be stored for up to 6 months. At the same time, the exotic representative does not lose its taste and juiciness.

The only negative point may be that the pulp loses its structure. It becomes softer and looser. Despite this, frozen mangoes are very good for baking or making desserts.

Drying

Before you dry the fruit, you need to properly prepare it. First, it is required to peel the product and separate the bone. Then cut the pulp into wedges. Secondly, drying requires a lump soak in sugar syrup. The amount of sugar depends on personal preference.

Then you can place the pulp in the sun, spreading it out on a baking sheet covered with parchment.

You can dry the product in the oven, if it does not contain the function of convection, then it is important to ensure the escape of vapors. An electric dryer or airfryer will perfectly help in the preparation process

Store the dried stock in a dry, dark place for no more than a year.

These are basic guidelines on how to store mangoes at home. Now the issues of storing exotic fruit will no longer be relevant.

Information about the storage of the product will enable housewives to pamper themselves and their household with a delicious treat all year round.

Further care of the tree at home

When the sprout has taken root well, it is important to correctly transplant it into a prepared container and regularly carry out the necessary care.

Pruning and shaping the crown

The plant tolerates pruning well and instantly restores crown volume. When at home the tree reaches 1.5 meters, they begin to form a crown regularly. To do this, cut off excess branches in order to maintain dwarf sizes.

Mango transplant

When transplanting, it is necessary to monitor the earthen lump with the root system. It cannot be damaged. The capacity is chosen twice as large as the previous one. With frequent transplants, mangoes may die.

Reproduction

It is best to grow a plant from seed. Also propagated by cuttings. But this method is ineffective, since the survival rate is very small.

How to “ripen” a solid mango?

Countries where mangoes are often sold unripe have come up with many good ways to condition the fruit at home.

Method one - bag + apples

Apples have a special property - they release ethylene. This gas contributes to the rapid ripening of fruits, so for the mango to quickly become soft and sweet, it is enough to put it in a paper or plastic bag with apples and tie it loosely. The more ripe the apples, the more active the process is.

Method two - saucepan + rice

Eastern and Asian countries have their own way of making mango ripe in a matter of days (or even hours). Local residents use rice for this - they pour it into a deep saucepan or other container, and then "bury" hard and undamaged fruits there. It is advisable to ripen one fruit in one container, but if the pan is large in diameter, 2-3 mangoes can fit in it at once. In this case, they should not lie close to each other, but be separated by a layer of rice several centimeters thick.

Method three - time + patience

This is the longest option. You just need to put the fruit in a vase and leave it on the table. Under the influence of sunlight, ripening processes will start in it. How long it will take for a purchased unripe mango to acquire a softness and heavenly taste depends on the variety and degree of ripeness. On average, it is 5-10 days.

Why is the mango not ripe, but spoiled?

This rarely happens, but there are several reasons for causing damage:

• There were "open wounds" on the skin - cuts, breaks. They could get pathogenic bacteria or fungi.
• The fruit began to rot even before being placed for ripening (as a result of a fall or impact, the pulp was injured, although the skin remained intact).
• Storage took place at too low temperatures.

Will the mango ripen when placed in the refrigerator?
No, at low temperatures (typically 6–7 ° C in the main chamber), the fruit will start to spoil faster than ripening. All tropical fruits love warmth, and for them to ripen, it is best to store them in a dry, dark, well-ventilated place - for example, in a kitchen cabinet.

How to ripen a cut mango?
If you cut open the fruit and only then find that it is not ready to serve, use it to make sauces or other dishes. It will no longer be possible to bring it to ripeness - upon contact with air, the pulp quickly darkens and putrefactive processes are activated in it.

We bought a lot of unripe mangoes for the action. How to store them so that they ripen in turn, and not all at the same time?
It is difficult to ensure proper storage of these fruits at home. The best thing to do is to wrap each fruit in a paper towel and then spread the mango out so that they don't touch each other. To ripen, use the methods described above - every day or every other day, put one or two mangoes in a bag with apples (a pot of rice).

Bringing the mango to ripeness at home, the main thing is to keep track of the process and not allow the fruit to overripe or deteriorate, because overripe fruits become too cloying, and rotten ones are not good for anything - they have to be thrown into the trash.

How to process mangoes for long-term storage

Mango jam

Delicious mango jam turns out. It's pretty simple to prepare it. Pieces of fruit are covered with sugar, put on fire and cook for about half an hour. Then the resulting jam must be cooled, put in glass jars and stored in the refrigerator.
