Master the Mango-Easy Steps to Cut Perfect Cubes Every Time

➤Choose a Ripe Mango:
Select a mango that gives slightly under gentle pressure-ripe mangoes are sweeter and easier to cube.
➤Wash Thoroughly:
Rinse the mango under cool running water to remove any dirt or residue before cutting.
➤Set the Mango Upright:
Place the mango on a cutting board with the stem side up to locate the flat sides or “cheeks”.
➤Slice Off the Cheeks:
Cut about ¼ inch from the center on both sides of the seed to separate the two largest sections of the mango.
➤Score the Flesh into a Grid:
Without cutting through the skin, slice the flesh of each cheek horizontally and vertically to form a grid.
➤Push the Skin Inside Out:
Press on the skin side to invert the mango cheek, making the cubes pop outward for easy access.
➤Scoop Out the Cubes:
Use a spoon or knife to carefully scoop or cut the mango cubes from the skin.
➤Trim the Sides Around the Pit:
Cut off the thin strips from the sides of the seed and slice or cube any usable flesh.
➤Check for Even Cubes:
For presentation or recipes, you may want to trim uneven pieces into neater cubes.
➤Use or Store Immediately:
Enjoy fresh cubes or store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3–5 days.
