Default Will a mango ripen once cut?

Once cut up the exposed surfaces will rot at a rate much accelerated
from that in which any portion can continue to ripen... this is true of
all fruit. I would suggest once cut you eat as rapidly as possible...
things will never be better than from that moment. Of course you can
choose to preserve but preservation merely slows decomposition.
