Preserve tropical sweetness—freeze mango chunks the right way!

➤Choose Ripe, Fresh Mangoes:
Start with ripe but firm mangoes for the best texture and flavor after freezing. Overripe mangoes can become mushy.

➤Wash and Peel the Mangoes:
Thoroughly wash the mangoes and peel off the skin to ensure cleanliness and ease of handling.
➤Slice Around the Pit:
Cut the mango into two cheeks, then slice around the seed to get as much fruit as possible.
➤Cut Into Even Chunks:
Dice the mango flesh into bite-sized chunks to make thawing and blending more convenient.
➤Use the Flash-Freezing Method:
Spread mango chunks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they don’t touch.
➤Freeze for 2–3 Hours Initially:
Place the tray in the freezer for 2–3 hours until the chunks are frozen solid. This prevents clumping later.
➤Transfer to Airtight Containers or Bags:
Once frozen, place the chunks into ziplock freezer bags or airtight containers. Remove as much air as possible.
➤Label with Date:
Add a label with the freezing date so you can keep track of freshness and use them within 6 months.
➤Store at 0°F (-18°C) or Lower:
Keep the mango chunks in the coldest part of your freezer to maintain quality and flavor.
➤Use Frozen Mango in a Variety of Recipes:
Perfect for smoothies, yogurt bowls, sorbets, or baking, frozen mango chunks offer convenience and nutrition year-round.
