How to Tell If a Mango Is Naturally Ripened (Not Carbide Ripened)

Most mangoes in markets today are ripened using calcium carbide, a chemical that speeds up the process but is harmful to your health. At ASD Orchards, we believe in doing it the natural way—sunshine, patience, and hardwork.

🌿 Why Natural Ripening Matters

  • Chemical-Free: No toxic residue like carbide.

  • Better Taste & Aroma: Naturally ripened mangoes have a richer flavor and natural smell.

  • Health-Safe: Carbide-ripened mangoes can cause headaches, dizziness, and stomach issues.

  • Longer Shelf Life: Natural ripening keeps the fruit's enzymes intact.
