How To Peel A Mango

If you are intimidated by a mango don't be.  It is just a fruit.  It is yummy and juicy and full of fibrous goodness.  Wonderful to eat as is, toss it in a salad, or make a yummy fruit salsa.  Look for a fruit that is redish in color and gives slightly when pressed.

Instructions

  • Cut down on the stem side till you feel your knife hit the seed. 
  • Then make a cut from top to bottom in a slight "C" motion. It will feel slightly woody when you get closer towards the seed. The fibers are closer together near the seed.[mv_img id='1385']

  • Do the same thing on the other side.[mv_img id='1386']
