### **PICKING PERFECTION BY CHECKING THE POINTY END - ONE FOR NOW, ONE FOR LATER**

For **same day eating**, look for a Calypso® mango with a pointy end that gives with just a little gentle pressure from your thumb.

For **eating in 2-3 days,** look for a Calypso® with little to no give when you apply gentle pressure to its tip.

If it’s too soft, the mango is too ripe (but is perfect to puree). If it’s firm you’ll need to store for a day or two before it’s perfect.
