Flavor, Quality & StorageHow does a paper bag help mangoes ripen at home?

A paper bag helps retain ethylene released by the fruit around an intact mango at room temperature. Check the fruit regularly and remove it when ready rather than using the bag as forgotten storage. Keep the bag away from a hot window or appliance. The method supports ripening of suitable fruit, but it cannot restore development that was missing when a mango was harvested.
