If you’ve accidentally bought an unripe mango, there are several ways to help it ripen, fast.

In a dark place
Put your mango in a storage pantry or a kitchen cabinet for a couple of days to speed up ripening. Don’t put the fruit into the fridge — it can ripen only in a warm place.
In a paper bag
Leave the mango in a paper bag for several days. The fruit will intensively release ethylene in such conditions, helping itself to ripen.
In a bag with bananas
Place the mango in one bag with 2-3 yellow bananas and leave the fruit at room temperature for 2-4 days. The fruit will release ethylene that will help it to ripen.
In rice
Place the mango in fresh, dry rice, which will speed up the release of ethylene in the fruit. Therefore, the fruit will ripen faster.

An important note: Make sure to check the mango while it’s ripening. It can overripen quite fast and start to go bad.
