With their sweet and sharp taste, they add a fresh gust of taste to any food. However, with the increasing demand of mangoes, it is becoming very important to differentiate between real and fake mangoes. Fake or artificially ripe common can pose serious health risks, so it is very important to be able to identify the difference. Here are some simple tricks that you can make sure that you are choosing the right mango in this summer.
Real Mango: The size of a real mango is usually smooth, oval or kidney. Depending on the variety, the size can range from small to large, but its size will be the same and there will be slight curvature on the edges. For example, alphonso common are smaller and slightly round than other varieties.
Fake mango: Artificially cooked mangoes The size of the size may be irregular or they may look somewhat deformed. Their size can be larger than the normal variety, as they are often filled with chemicals or water to look large and succulent.
Real Mango: Mango comes in various colors that depend on their type and ripening. Mango colors range from green to yellow, red or orange. A ripe mango will have a vibrant, natural mixture of these colors, with no similar patches. For example, yellow mangoes should have a bright yellow color of no green line unless they are of a particular immature type.
Fake mango: The color of artificial mangoes can be unnatural, the same, and they may look highly shiny due to wax or other coatings used to enhance their beauty. This can be a sign of a threat. In addition, the color of fake mangoes can be such that does not match the variety-such as green-yellow mango which should be more orange.
Real Mango: The easiest way to identify real mangoes is its fragrance. The real mango, when cooked, has a sweet, tropical aroma that is difficult to identify. The fragrance of mangoes is usually the highest near the stem. If the mango is raw, it may not have a strong smell, but still there will be a light, fresh odor.
Fake mango: If there is no fragrance in mangoes or strange, smells like chemicals, it is an indication that it is artificially cooked. Fake mangoes can be treated with chemicals such as calcium carbide, which can lead to lack of natural aroma of ripe fruits.
Real Mango: The ripe mango sounds hard, but bends slightly with light pressure, especially near the stem. Until it is too cooked, it should not feel very soft or sticky. Real mango skin is usually smooth, although some varieties may have small bulge or rough patches.
Fake mango: Fake mangoes are often cooked quickly using chemicals, and as a result, they can look unnaturally rigid, there is no flexibility when pressed gently. They can also look very rigid or very soft, with incompatibility in texture. Highly smooth or shiny skin may also indicate the use of chemicals or wax coating.
Real Mango: A fresh mango contains a small, dry stem. The stem should look natural and should not be shiny or too shiny. Lack of stem or unusually thick stem can also be a sign of artificial ripening.
Fake mango: The bright or unnatural looking taut mango may have been artificially treated to look fresh for a long time. The stem may also appear to be more thicker than normal, as some fake mangoes are replaced to look “perfect” during the ripening process.
