How do you cut a mango?

Question

Accepted Answer

Cutting a mango might look complicated, but if you follow these steps you will be comfortable in no time. Don't worry about getting each piece into a perfect square!

Step 1: Hold your mango upright and find the tallest side. The pit will be sitting along that line, so you’ll want to be facing parallel to that side. With a small paring knife, carefully slice half of the mango off of the pit while aiming your knife towards the center of the mango.

Step 2: Turn your mango 180 degrees and hold the top while you slice the other half off of the pit.

Step 3: Take one half of your mango and cut lines vertically through the fruit side of the half without cutting through the skin.

Step 4: Flip your mango half so that the vertical lines you just cut are now facing you horizontally. Cut lines vertically through this side of the fruit without cutting through the skin to create grid-like lines.

Step 5: Take a spoon and scoop out the cubes from the grid-like pattern, leaving the skin behind.
