Mangoes, the king of fruits, can sometimes be tricky to pick, but with these simple tips, you'll always choose the sweetest, ripest mangoes.

1. Smell for Sweetness: The aroma near the stem is the best indicator. A sweet, tropical fragrance means the mango is ripe and delicious. If there's no smell, it's probably not ready yet.

2. Gently Squeeze: A ripe mango should yield slightly to pressure but not be too soft. It should feel firm with a slight give, indicating perfect ripeness.

3. Look for the Right Color: While color varies by variety, a deep golden yellow usually signals ripeness. Keep in mind, some types like Langra stay green even when ripe.

4. Choose Heavier Mangoes: Ripe mangoes are heavier for their size due to their high water content.

5. Inspect the Stem: A fresh stem that's slightly indented is a good sign, but avoid shriveled stems.

Now, with these tricks, you're set for the perfect mango every time!
