Mangoes are a juicy, golden, and tropical fruit loved by pretty much everyone! In this quick guide, I’ll show you how to cut mangoes simply and efficiently every time!
Halve: Slice off both halves of the mango, about ¼-inch away from the center to avoid the seed wide, narrow seed inside.
Slice: Hold one of the mango halves in the palm of your hand. Without cutting through the skin, make lengthwise cuts through the flesh. Rotate the mango and make crosswise cuts to create a grid pattern. (Be very careful not to cut through the skin to your hand - if you're not comfortable cutting mangoes like this, you can set the mango on the cutting board instead).
Flip: Push in the center of the skin side of the mango so the cubes of fruit pop out like a hedgehog.
Slice: Slice off the mango cubes and repeat the process with the other half.
Glass method
Halve: Slice off both halves of the mango, about ¼-inch away from the center to avoid the seed wide, narrow seed inside.
Skin: Take a drinking glass or a small cup with a thin rim and place the edge right where the mango skin and flesh meet. Slide the glass between the skin and the fruit, following the curve of the mango, to separate the flesh from the skin.
Slice: Remove the mango flesh from the glass and cut it into cubes, slices, etc.
