How to Cut a Mango
- Make sure you use a sharp knife.
- Locate the stem and make sure it’s on top. The pit of the mango runs from that top stem down to the bottom of the fruit!
- Cut about a quarter inch away from the center line vertically down the mango, keeping that stem on top. Do this on both sides.
- Now you’ve got two mango halves to work with! At this point you can scoop the flesh out with a spoon, or make cuts that stop at the peel before scooping it out cubed.
