Cutting Mangos Can Get Dicey

How to Dice a Mango from Eating Seasonally on katienormalgirl.com

Mango season is almost over, so be sure to scoop up a couple of these yummy fruits the next time you’re in the store. When selecting a mango, pick one that is firm with just a small amount of give. You want a firmness between an apple and a ripe peach.

If you haven’t sliced a mango before, then you may not realize that there is a large seed in the center. You need to be careful to avoid cutting the seed because it’s very hard and your knife could slip and…well…bad things man…bad things. Also, don’t cut too close to the seed because the fruit around it is fibrous and not very tasty. Check out the pictorial below for some tips on how to dice a mango!

Now that you have this wonderful bounty, what shall you do with it? It’s tasty as-is, or you can toss it together with some raspberries and blueberries for a fancy fruit salad. There’s mango martinis, mango smoothies or one of my favorites…mango salsa.

 

No matter what you pick, it’s bound to be delicous because these little guys are at the peak of freshness and flavor through the end of the month.

 

Enjoy!

    Great suggestions Katie! I grew up eating mangoes straight from the tree and the best way to eat them does not involve dicing them. Just byte into them and enjoy the flavors!

      Mango trees grow in Florida and now it sounds like I might need to plant one. What a yummy treat!
