How To Cut A Mango

Step 3 Score the sides

Now that you've disposed of the pit, it's time to score the side pieces of your mango.

Make a series of parallel cuts, taking care not to cut through the skin. Poking through the skin results in an untidy mango, dripping mango juice, and sometimes blood. Cut the lines as close as you like, so long as you make at least two of them.

Now, spin the mango 90 degrees and repeat the process.

I tend to use a regular table knife for this step as it's less sharp and has a rounded tip, therefore is less likely to cut the skin.

 more likely to need to be forced, and slip though.
