How to cut mango with a seed?

To cut a mango with a seed efficiently, follow these steps:

Here's a simple method to cut a mango, keeping in mind its seed:

1. Orientation: Hold the mango upright with the stem end facing down.
2. Visualize the Seed: Imagine the flat, oval shape of the seed inside the mango. This will guide your cuts.
3. First Cut: With a sharp knife, slice down from the top of the mango, alongside one side of the pit. You should end up with a mango "cheek."
4. Second Cut: Repeat on the opposite side of the pit, giving you another mango "cheek."
5. Remaining Flesh: You'll be left with the pit and some attached flesh. You can carefully trim the remaining flesh from around the pit.

Here's a table summarizing the steps:

Step	Description
1	Orient the mango stem side down.
2	Visualize the pit.
3	Cut down one side of the pit to remove a "cheek."
4	Cut down the other side of the pit to remove the second "cheek."
5	Trim the remaining flesh from around the pit.

Essentially, as the reference states, "Holding the mango with one hand, stand it on its end, stem side down. Standing up the mango up like this you should be able to imagine the alignment of the flat, oval pit inside of it. With a sharp knife in your other hand, cut from the top of the mango, down one side of the pit. Then repeat with the other side."
