How To Eat A Mango

Cutting A Mango

METHOD 1

• Wash the fruit thoroughly.
• Using a knife, cut it lengthwise down one side of the fruit. Cut a thick slice, keeping your knife close to the seed. Then cut another slice.
• You have 2 thick slices. With your knife, cut each slice to make a cross-hatch grid on the flesh of the mango. Do not cut through the skin.
• Then press against the skin so that the flesh is turned inside out. Enjoy the fruit by eating it off the skin.
• You are left with the rest of the mango with its seed. Peel off the skin and enjoy the remaining part of the fruit.

METHOD 2

• Wash the mango thoroughly.
• Cut off the top of the fruit with a sharp knife.
• Then peel the mango with your knife.
• When all the skin is peeled, cut the mango lengthwise, keeping your knife close to the seed.

Again, you'll get 2 thick slices plus the remaining fruit surrounding the seed.

• Cut the 2 thick slices into 1/2" strips.
  Then cut off the remaining flesh surrounding the seed.
