Two Ways To Cut A Mango
Listen, you aren’t going to catch me peeling a mango, ok? I use the “grid” when I need quick chunks, but my preferred method is the easiest, laziest way and how I eat my mangoes every morning of the season.
I cut the mango along the seed into two big sections and then flip it face side down and cut into long spears. To eat, I just stick it in my mouth and pull off the flesh - kind of like eating an artichoke.
Is it the classiest way to eat it? No. Is it the way I eat them every single day with iced coffee while I’m still half asleep? Yes.
Below, is a step by step for the grid method and my spear method:
Step 1: Cut along the seed.
Step 2 : Score the mango with a grid pattern, like a tic tac toe board. Try not to cut through the skin, but get to the edge of it.
Step 3: Turn it inside out.
Option 2 - the Spear Method aka The Lazy Way
Step 1: Cut along the seed.
Step 2: Flip the flat side down and cut it into spears - basically long strips. Voila!
