MANGOES

Great Conditioner:
Mango can be used in preparing a home-made conditioner. For this purpose, mix
mango pulp with a spoonful of yoghurt and two egg yellows. Apply this on your hair and
leave for 30 minutes. This will condition your hair by making them soft and manageable.


Storage: Proper storage is important to ensure that the fruit stays fresh and to prevent spoilage.
The storage requirements vary depending upon the variety. If the mangoes are hard and green,
they should be placed in a brown paper bag for a few days to ripen. They should be stored at
room temperature and away from the sun until they ripen. Mangoes generally have a shelf life of
1 to 2 weeks. Once ripe, they can be stored in the refrigerator. Mangoes can also be frozen.
Freezing them makes their skin black but inner flesh will stay in good condition. They can be
frozen either entirely or in the form of chopped up pieces. When freezing peeled mangoes,
sprinkle sugar over the chopped fruit and stir gently with wooden spoon to dissolve the sugar in
the fruits own juices. Seal these pieces in an airtight container leaving inch airspace or
plastic freezer bags after squeezing all the air out. Mangoes can be refrigerated for about 2 to 5
days.
