Preparation & Safety
How to wash and prepare mangoes
For mangoes, pesticide penetration into the edible portion is relatively low. Wash thoroughly under cool running water for 30 seconds before peeling or slicing to prevent transferring surface contaminants onto clean kitchen tools.
Market Comparison
How mangoes varies by market
| Market | Load Score | Samples Tested | Detection Rate | Reliability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| US | 31 | 1,081 | 43.4% | ✓ Solid (1081) |
| UK | 13 | 56 | 50% | ✓ Solid (56) |
