Is mango frozen whole or peeled

Mango is recommended to peel and cut into pieces before freezing and storing. Freezing with skin on may cause the fruit flesh to become soft and rotten after thawing, resulting in a decreased taste and difficulty in peeling; Peeling, cutting, and freezing can preserve better flavor, making it convenient for direct consumption or making desserts. When mango is directly frozen with skin on, the fibers in the skin will harden at low temperatures, and it is difficult to peel off the adhesion with the flesh after thawing. During the freezing process, ice crystals may puncture the flesh cells, resulting in the loss of moisture and loose texture of the thawed meat. The whole frozen mango needs to be completely thawed before processing, repeated thawing will accelerate nutrient loss, especially water-soluble components such as vitamin C are easily destroyed.

Peeling, cutting, and freezing mangoes can maximize their sweet taste. After cutting into pieces, lay them flat and freeze to avoid adhesion. When using, take them as needed without thawing them all. Frozen mango chunks are suitable for direct grinding into puree, making smoothies, or pairing with yogurt. High temperature cooking can lead to a significant loss of vitamins, so it is recommended to thaw them and eat them cold. People who are allergic to mangoes should avoid consumption, and those with weak gastrointestinal function should control their intake to avoid irritation.

When freezing mangoes, it is necessary to choose fruits with moderate maturity, as overripe mangoes can easily produce fermented flavors after freezing. When storing, use a sealed bag to remove air and store for about 3 months. Consume within 24 hours after thawing to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. It can be paired with high-quality protein rich ingredients such as milk and coconut milk in daily life to balance the cooling properties of fruits. For those with spleen and stomach deficiency and coldness, a small amount of ginger juice can be added to mix.
