Question

Mangos, when you buy a too firm one, how do you get it softened?

Answer 1

Brown bag works well. You also also accelerate it a bit more by putting a banana in the bag also. The gases that the banana releases will accelerate the ripening.

Answer 2

..hehe, i dk, but here in honduras, we get loads and loads of mangos, kids like me we eat them when they're green or just about to be ripe. just slice them and put them in some vinegar with loads of salt and a bit of pepper.. not that healthy.. tastes good

Answer 3

Just wait a few days, they will soften on their own!

Answer 4

YOU CAN EITHER PUT THEM IN A BROWN PAPER BAG, OR YOU CAN  JUST PUT THEM IN YOUR FRUIT BOWL AND JUST WAIT A COUPLE OF DAYS  : )

Just keep them at room temp for 2-3 days, they will ripen naturally.  No paper bag needed.

Answer 7

Wrap them in newspaper , keep at room temp. and it should be good by next day.
