* Pesticides and Chemicals: Mangoes, like many fruits, can have pesticide residues or other chemicals on their skin from farming practices. Washing helps to remove or reduce these.
* Dirt and Soil: Even if organically grown, mangoes can have dirt, dust, or other environmental contaminants on their surface.
* Bacteria and Germs: Fruits can pick up bacteria and germs from handling during harvesting, transportation, and display in stores. Washing helps to remove these potential pathogens.
* Sap: Mangoes, especially near the stem, can release a sticky, irritating sap when picked. While not directly harmful if ingested in small amounts, it can cause skin irritation for some people. Washing helps to remove this.
How to wash a mango:
* Hold the mango under cool running water.
* Gently scrub the skin with your hands or a soft brush (a clean vegetable brush works well).
* Rinse thoroughly.
* Dry with a clean paper towel or cloth before cutting. .
