Then, leave the other half unpeeled with the seeds intact. Wrap it up tightly with plastic wrap and keep it in the refrigerator so it stays fresh. Once you remove the skin, the mango will start oxidizing, which isn't going to be good.

QuestionWhen I put cubed mango in the refrigerator overnight, it turns black. How can I stop this from happening?Community AnswerMangoes oxidize just like apples. Once they have been cut, oxygen in the air interacts with the fruit and causes their color to change. It isn't bad for you, but it looks unappetizing. You can put it in a zip-lock bag and suck the air out of it to slow the process, or just eat it right after you cut it.
