How To (regarding mangoes)

Take a sharp knife and score / cut round the stone lengthways. Take a spoon and wedge / wiggle it into the cut you have made, feeling for the stone, and try to follow the contour of the stone. With some persistent wiggling of the spoon you should be able to lever the mango in half with the stone attached to one half of the fruit. Using the spoon again follow the contour of the stone around this half and "scoop" the stone out of the fruit. You should now have to halves of the mango and no stone (best way to ensure you get the most fruit is to suck the stone!). I would then score lengthways and widthways the flesh in each half, and then turn the fruit inside out on itself so the cube fruit stands up like a hedgehog effect. It should then be easy to cut cleanly from the skin in cubes. I hope you understand what I have just tried to describe. It makes sense in my head, but I'm not sure if I have clearly said what I mean. Happy eating :)

Hello, hmmm...you make me miss mango, This is just everywhere in the Philippines but here way too expensive and different type. Anyway, i use to slice it lengthwise then after dividing it both sides, will make opposite sliced to come up with cubes...hmmmmmmm....love it!

Oh Modestah, good question. I always cut the fruit off the pit as best I can then give it to one of the kids to suck on and chew whats left off :))) LMAo only way I know how to do it. So I will be watching this thread to see how other do it.

I just peel mine and then slice mango off of it until I hit the pit. My son likes to take the mango pit and eat the mango off of it, so in this house it does not go to waste. I have seen these things at Bed Bath and Beyond that are made just to do mangoes. It is pretty cool looking, but it is like $15. I passed on it.

idk but id like to kno how..id like yo have my own garden

Mangoes..Oh how i love mangoes....we grew them in our backyard back in the Philippines... I love making Mango Float with lots and lots of sweet yellow mangoes. I agree with the other mylotters about slicing the mangoes...slice it lengthwise making sure you are near the seed. Slice both sides...and scoop out with spoon...yum yum! I have pictures of mangoes from home but i dont know how to add them here :(

I needed to know this very thing a few days ago! I made my husband a protein shake/smoothie. We always add fruit to it. He chose mango this time. I had the hardest time cutting that thing up! I don't think it was ripe enough either. I remember Mangos being much softer and sweeter inside.

sometime i peel mine, but i usually slice it like the way others tell how it's done

thank you for the telling me how to add image but i cant see any blue add image letters...hmmm maybe something is wrong....anyway, u can look at the mangoes i put in my profile pictures. thank you.
