Storage & Care Instructions
-
Firm/Unripe Chikoo: Store at room temperature in a paper bag or a dry, well-ventilated spot. They will ripen within 2 to 5 days, softening and developing a sweet aroma.
-
Ripe Chikoo: Once soft to touch, consume immediately or place whole in the refrigerator at 4°C–8°C for up to 3–4 days to slow further ripening.
-
Cut Chikoo: Scoop out the seeds, slice or scoop the pulp, and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 48 hours.
-
Handling Tip: Always wash the fuzzy skin under cold water before peeling or cutting. Remove the smooth black seeds before eating, as they possess tiny hooks that can cause choking.
