There is nothing better than a ripe and juicy mango in the summer, and if you’ve ever struggled getting to the flesh, or wondered the right way to cut a mango, I’m here to help! Here are two simple, easy methods you can use to get the most delicious fruit off of your mango.
Method #1: No Peel
This method is the fastest way to cut a mango:
Method #2: Peel first
This method is preferred if you want to get the most uniform cubes of mango.
How can I tell if my mango is ripe and ready to cut?
A mango is a lot like an avocado in that it gets softer when it’s ripe. Squeeze your mango gently to feel if it will give slightly, which indicates it’s ready to cut. Focus on the feel rather than the color of the mango, because there are different varieties and colors of mangos.
What kind of knife do I use to cut a mango?
A knife with a serrated edge will work best for cutting a mango, but any sharp knife will do the job. Use a Y-shaped vegetable peeler for the easiest tool to skin a mango.
How much does one mango yield?
A ripe, average sized mango will yield about a cup of fruit. A slightly larger mango may yield about 1 ½ cups.
