For any of you who might not know the best way to peel a MANGO, here’s
what works for me.
Step 1: Cut off the top so that you can see the faint oval shape of the pit.
(I photoshoped a thin line in the picture to show it a little better).
With a good paring knife begin to peel off the skin.
Continue until all the peel is removed.
The goal is to cut off each half as close to the pit as possilbe (along the length
of the oval). In the above picture I have already cut off the top “half” and am working
on the bottom “half”.
There will still be alot of fruit along the sides of the pit, so trim down the sides
of the pit.
Last step is to slice up the 2 “halves”. You can see the remaining pit in the
background.
On a side note, FREEZING MANGOES is an easy snack. Just follow the steps
above and lay each slice out on a tray that will fit in the freezer. When frozen
transfer the slices from the tray into a storage bag. These are DELICIOUS
eaten plain, or thrown into a smoothie.
