# Why Do Mangoes Develop Dark Spots After Being Refrigerated?

I put a few mangoes in the refrigerator to keep them fresh, but dark patches appeared on the skin afterward. The fruit still seemed firm, so I couldn’t tell whether the spots were just cosmetic or a sign that the inside had been affected.

Does refrigeration cause this kind of change, or could it be related to how ripe the mangoes were before they went into the fridge?
