Flavor, Quality & StorageWhat does shriveling tell me about stored mangoes?
Shriveling often indicates water loss, although its significance depends on fruit type, ripeness, and the rest of the condition. Inspect firmness and flesh quality rather than treating every wrinkle as proof of either perfect ripeness or spoilage. For a stored lot, compare container position and airflow. Record when wrinkling began to distinguish a ripening characteristic from progressive dehydration during holding.
