What are they smelling for? Ripeness ? I know what to look for and I try to buy my mangos to ripen over a few days. I always see the ladies when they shop for produce smelling the mangos? What exactly are they smelling for? One other thing I've learned those assholes selling fruit off the trucks many times it turns out to be rotten. They are selling mangos and lechosas that they picked off the ground. Douc he bags.
