| How To Cut a Mango |
Click here for Spanish |
| You can enjoy a ripe mango by peeling off the skin and
eating it as a whole fruit. Or, follow this easy cross-hatch
method for cutting a mango: |
|
On a board hold the mango with one of the narrower sides
facing up. Starting 1/4” from
the stem, slice along each side
of the pit to cut offthe “cheeks.” |
 |
Cut flesh criss-cross taking
care not to cut through the skin |
 |
| Press skin so fruit pops outward. With
a knife or large spoon, remove the
mango cubes. Peel center section:
cut off remaining fruit. (Alternatively,
skip Step #2. With a knife, carve out
the flesh in a single piece, cutting as
close to the skin as possible. Serve whole or cut in slices.) |
