If you have never purchased mango or are not sure what a good mango should look and feel like ask the person in the produce department to help you out. If you get one that is under ripe or overripe it will make the bread taste nasty. Underripe is not so bad because you can leave it in your kitchen till it ripens, but you have to watch it everyday.

Well it can vary on regions sometimes because of the different climates they grow in. ?That is why I suggested to ask someone in the produce area or the person selling them. ?However, ?I look for:

The flesh of the fruit is almost all yellow.

The beak-end of the fruit fills out and feels smooth.

The shoulders (stem-end) of the fruit lose any wrinkles.

The background color of the fruit changes from a distinct green to a pale green

The blush color of the fruit brightens.

These are just a few things, ?there are some like old wives things to look for but I dont know any of them.

lol, it basically has to do with the hue and color "saturation" of the fruit.
