Mango is a favorite of many people, whether it is eaten directly or squeezed into mango juice is very delicious. There are many types of mangoes on the market, such as imperial concubine mango, small Taiwan mango, big green mango, etc., and there are great differences in different varieties of origin.
Most mangoes are yellow in color, and warm colors always give people a warm feeling. But the yellow mango will not be stored for a few days, and black spots will appear. What is going on? Can mangoes with "dark spots" still be eaten?
There are many reasons for the dark spots on mangoes. For example, storage at an unsuitable temperature will make the skin black. I believe that many people like to store fruits in the refrigerator. As everyone knows, mangoes are typical tropical fruits. They like temperature but not cold. If they are stored in the refrigerator, they will “frozen” the skin, and “black spots” will appear.
It is recommended that the purchased mango be stored at room temperature and protected from light. The temperature should not be too high, but it should not be refrigerated.
In addition, mangoes will be damaged to varying degrees during packaging, transportation and sales. At this time, the squeezed and damaged parts will slowly turn black. The epidermis of mangoes contains a large amount of polyphenol oxidase substances. Once the epidermal cells are damaged, these polyphenol oxidases will be released to form a brown substance.
Can you continue to eat mangoes with "dark spots"?
Although golden mangoes look attractive, they are sometimes not fully ripe, just like bananas. If the mango has "dark spots", don't discard it, and see if the pulp is affected. If it is not affected, the pulp will taste sweeter.
But affected by dark spots, the pulp is likely to rot and deteriorate more easily. At this time, mangoes will emit a sour taste. In this case, it is not recommended to continue eating. Especially during the purchase process, be sure to choose mangoes that have no dark spots or very small dark spots, so that they will not deteriorate even if they are left for two or three days.
Although mangoes are delicious, they are relatively allergenic fruits. If you eat mango for the first time, you can take a bite to observe whether there are any adverse reactions. If you have facial swelling, edema, abdominal pain, diarrhea, asthma and other uncomfortable symptoms, you must not continue to eat it and seek medical attention.
