How to Cut a Mango
Servings: 1
Cost: $1.50
Get ready to devour that freshly cut mango you just masterfully peeled + sliced.
Ingredients
- 1 mango ripe
Instructions
- Find the stem of the mango.
- Cut through the mango length-wise, about 1 inch from either side of the stem.
- Slice a grid through each of the cut portions, not cutting all the way through the skin.
- Place your thumbs on the skin side and flex inward, exposing the grid you just cut.
- Slice out the exposed mango chunks with a knife or spoon.
- Refrigerate in an airtight container, toss into a blender for a smoothie, or just eat!
Notes
- I used a Tommy Atkins variety of mango since that is what my grocery store sold, yet you can use whatever variety you want (just know they come in all shapes and sizes!).
- Make sure your mango is at peak ripeness when you cut it. To determine this, gently squeeze the mango. It should feel slightly soft.
