The sweetness of monsoon mangoes is delightful; however, you need to be careful before you indulge. Here’s why

Mango skins may carry bacteria or pesticides, especially in damp monsoon air, so wash them well before eating

Keep mangoes in a dry, ventilated space to prevent mould formation, which is common in monsoon humidity

Too many mangoes can spike your blood sugar levels and lead to digestive issues like bloating or heatiness

Some people are sensitive to mango sap or fibres, which can cause itching or mild allergic reactions

Mangoes ripen quickly in humid weather, so ensure they’re not overripe, fermented, or starting to spoil

Storing mangoes in a cold fridge reduces flavour and might cause the flesh to develop a rubbery texture

Combining mangoes with milk or yoghurt might not suit all digestive systems, potentially causing gas or discomfort

Buying local seasonal mangoes ensures they’re fresher and less likely to be chemically ripened or imported
