How is the harvest/processing of Thai mangoes?

Fresh Mango

• Color change from green to yellow and the development of “shoulders” on the end of the stem and fruit are good maturity indicators.
• Fruit flesh turns white to yellow starting at the endocarp and progressing outward to the skin during maturation.
  
• Mango fruit matures 100 to 150 days after flowing.
  

• Mangoes have the best flavor when they ripen on the tree rather than when they are prematurely picked.

Processed Mango

• Mangoes are versatile when processed: the flesh can be used for canning, juicing, drying, freezing, and as fresh slices for the pre-prepared fruit salad market.
• Frozen or preserved pulp provides the raw material used in fruit juice, yogurt fruits, and ice confectionary.
• Processed products include dried, puree, juice concentrates, steamed, and cooked mangoes.
