How to Cut a Mango – Step by Step

  1. Wash and scrub the mango.
  2. With stem side up, cut two sides of the mango away from the seed. Be sure to slice as close to the pit as you can.
  3. Method one: Use a spoon to scoop the flesh out of the mango and then cut into cubes
  4. Method two: Use a knife to cut crosswise cuts into the flesh of the mango and then use a spoon to scoop out the cubes.
  5. Use a paring knife to peel the skin and cut any excess mango away from the pit.
