Dear Harmeet – if you rinse bananas, make sure the water is as cold as possible. In winter, fruit can be more stubborn, and need warmer temperatures to ripen in the same time.

I am guessing your store bought green mango was either: not mature green, or, was chill damaged before you got it.

Can you offer any guidance for home ripening of a mature green mangoe purchased at the grocery store? I have experimented with a paper bag by placing the mangoe in the bag and clipping the bag closed to ensure darkness. The temperature is that of a kitchen – approximately 70 degrees most of the time. The first attempt resulted in a rotting mangoe only partially edible. The second attempt resulted in a partially ripened mangoe – not totally ripe but edible with dark spots beginning to appear in one end of the mangoe and the other end so fibrous that it was not desirable. The paper bag experiment began when the mangoe in the fruit bowl did not ripen to a satisfactory level to eat. Maybe I don’t know what a satisfactory level to eat is? I know that the mangoes I get in the Thai restaurant are wonderful. The ones I get at home are much less so. I’d like to have good mangoes at home. Thanks for any suggestions you may have.
