Cutting a Mango: A Step-by-Step Guide
The key to easily cutting a mango is to avoid the seed in the center. Here’s a breakdown of the process:
- Make the Initial Cuts:
- Hold the mango upright.
- Cut down along one side of the mango.
- This cut should be smooth and avoid the central seed.
- Repeat the cut on the other side of the mango, ensuring you're cutting flesh and not the seed. As stated in the video reference, "It should go all the way smooth. If you hit the center you hit the the seed or the other. Side."
- Separate the Sides:
- You should now have two mango "cheeks" separated from the central seed.
- Slice the Mango Cheeks:
- Put a slice in the middle of the mango side.
- You can make these slices lengthwise or crosswise, depending on how you'd like to present the mango pieces.
- Once sliced, you can then scoop out the pieces from the skin with a spoon or turn the skin inside out so you can easily cut the pieces off the skin.
By following these steps, you can easily cut an open mango without struggling with the seed.
