Preparation Tips

To prepare a mango, first find the stem end. The large, flat pit runs parallel to the flat sides of the fruit. Slice along both sides of the pit to remove the "cheeks." Score the flesh in a cross-hatch pattern, then push the skin up to expose the cubes for easy eating. Alternatively, peel the mango and slice the flesh away from the pit. Ripe mangoes should yield slightly to gentle pressure and have a sweet aroma near the stem end.
