how to peel a mango correctly

How do you peel a mango?

Mangoes are an exotic fruit that should be eaten when ripe, and cutting them requires gentle handling. We explain how to cut them easily and not turn them into mush.

Choosing a good mango

To prepare a mango well, the first step is to choose a fruit that is ripe enough to be good and easy to cut. The colour of the skin is not necessarily the key. Some mangoes that are still green are perfectly ripe.

The best indicator of a mango's ripeness is its feel.

It should be soft but not mushy. You can also buy a fruit that is still firm and let it ripen in a fruit basket.

A short lesson on the anatomy of the mango is necessary. To cut this exotic fruit properly, you need to know that it has a flat core in its centre that you have to work with. To do this

•         Take a cutting board and a sharp knife.
•         Cut both sides of the core from top to bottom.
•         You will get three distinct parts: two thick sides called "cheeks", and a central part containing the core.

•         Take the two fleshiest parts - the cheeks - and cut them with a paring knife to get equal-sized cuts. Be careful not to pierce the skin.
•         Turn both cheeks over as you would socks. The cuts will come out and you can easily remove the pieces with the knife.
•         Remember to also remove the flesh surrounding the stone
