A Easy Guide to Cutting and Dicing a Mango

Mangoes are delicious, but because of their huge pit and slick flesh, they can be difficult to cut. This quick and simple guide will help you cut and dice a mango flawlessly every time. To enjoy your luscious mango without the mess, just follow these easy instructions!

First, wash the mango.

• Wash the mango well under cold water before beginning to get rid of any dirt or residue from the skin.

Step Two: Locate the Pit

• Before you begin chopping, you should locate the huge, flat pit in the middle of the mango. With the narrow end facing up, hold the mango upright. You will want to cut around the pit because it goes lengthwise.

Step 3: Cut the cheeks and sides off.

Cut each side of the mango approximately 1/4 inch from the center with a sharp knife. We refer to these parts as the “cheeks.”

Two enormous oval chunks of mango, one from each side of the pit, will be your final product.

Step 4: Give the flesh a score

• With the skin facing down, hold one of the mango cheeks in your fingers.
• Using a knife, make crisscross marks on the mango’s flesh, being careful not to pierce the skin.
• Make fewer, larger slices for larger portions.
• Cut closer when dealing with smaller dice.

Turn the mango inside out in step five.

• Gently push the mango cheek’s skin from underneath so that the cube-shaped scored flesh protrudes. With the cubes protruding, it ought to resemble a hedgehog.

Scoop Out the Diced Mango in Step Six

• Carefully remove the sliced mango cubes from the peel by scooping them out with a spoon.

Step 7: Take the Pit’s Flesh Out

• The central portion, which contains the pit, will remain once the cheeks have been removed.
• To get rid of any leftover flesh, cut around the pit’s edges.
• This portion can be eaten by nibbling around the pit or sliced.

Peeling and slicing are optional.

• Remove the skin from the mango cheeks before slicing if you would rather have slices rather than cubes. Next, cut the meat to the thickness you want.

In conclusion

• With the correct method, chopping and dicing a mango may be easy and mess-free. Perfect mango cubes are ready to eat as a pleasant snack or in salads and smoothies if you follow these simple procedures. Cheers to cutting mangos!
