Although mango only grows in warm climates, it is popular all over the world because the mango fruit is sweet and delicious. They make a good snack and are a great addition to any breakfast or lunch. But before eating a mango, you should learn about the various ways to do it. Read these tips and you will learn a lot about mangoes.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Prepare the mango

  1. 1 Make sure the mango is ripe. If you press lightly on it with your finger, and a dent appears there, it means that the mango is already ready to eat. In the same way, you can check if the pear or avocado is ripe.
    • If you touch the mango and feel that it is firm, then wait a few days for it to ripen. If there is an unripe mango, it will taste unpleasant and bitter. So don't translate good mango as mango fruit is getting more and more expensive.
  2. 2 Wash the mango. This fruit should be clean, even if you are going to peel off the rind.
  3. 3 Take the required items. To cut the mango into slices or cubes, you will need a knife, a cutting board, and a bowl where you put the mango cubes or slices.

Method 2 of 3: Eat Diced Mango

  1. 1 Slice up the mango. Cut the mango in half or in thirds, being careful not to hit the large pit. Then make vertical cuts in the half that you are holding in your hand. Try not to cut the rind. Now make horizontal cuts to create a grid. Grasp the peel firmly on the other side of that half and pull forward.
    • As a result, the slices you cut should appear, giving the appearance of a flower to this half of the mango.
    • Then just separate these pieces from each other.
    • If they are difficult to separate, use a knife to cut them into a bowl or a spoon to separate them.
  2. 2 Just eat the diced mango. Put the mango in a bowl, grab a spoon and have fun! If you want to eat the sliced ​​mango a little later, then put it in an airtight plastic container, but agree that it is better to eat it fresh, and it will also become watery if you put it aside for a while.
    • For a piquant taste, you can add a little lemon juice to the mango.
  3. 3 Add mango cubes to fruit salad. Mango cubes make a great addition to any fruit salad. If you don't want mango juice in your fruit salad, wait for the juice to drain off the mango pieces before adding them to the salad. Here are some tips for making a delicious mango salad:
    • Make a papaya, apple, and cantaloupe salad.
    • Make a mango and pineapple salad. Add a pinch of cinnamon for flavor.
    • Make a salad of mangoes, pears, and a few cherries, cut in half.
    • Eat a mango and orange salad with a dash of lime juice.
  4. 4 Use mango cubes to add some flavor to your main course. You might be thinking that mango is only best suited for fruit salads and desserts because of its sweet and savory taste, but this is not the case. Mango fruits will make any main course unforgettable. Here are some ways to use mango slices in main dishes:
    • Create a mango salsa by adding only papaya, avocado, some lemon juice, and cilantro. With mango salsa, you can serve chicken, beef or shrimp, or just potato or banana chips.
    • Add the mango cubes to the burrito.
    • Serve the mango with Caribbean rice or any other Caribbean-inspired dish.
  5. 5 Add mango cubes to dessert. Mango fruits are naturally sweet and are great for many desserts. Here are some tips:
    • Add the mango cubes to the yogurt.
    • Add mango cubes to ice cream.
    • Add mango cubes and some raisins to the rice pudding.
    • Mango cubes can be placed on top of dessert or mixed with other ingredients.

Method 3 of 3: Eat sliced ​​mango

  1. 1 Cut the mango into slices. When you cut the mango, remember that it has a large pit in the center, shaped like a giant almond. Cut the mango into slices in the same way as the apple, just be careful not to hit the bone. The slices should not be more than 2.5 cm thick.
    • When you cut the mango, you should have a bone and a few slices still with the skin on. And here's what to do after that:
      • If you just want to eat the mango, remove the peel from the slices and eat them. You can try eating some loose skin around the pit, but don't eat the skin too close to the pit because it can be hard and will get stuck between your teeth, worse than boiled corn.
      • If you want to peel the mango, you can take the peeled slices and scrape them gently with a spoon. If the mango is not ripe enough, then it is better to use a knife.
  2. 2 Add mango slices to a variety of dishes. While mango cubes are a little more versatile, freshly chopped mango slices can add flavor to many common dishes, from desserts to main courses. Get the most out of sliced ​​mango by adding it to the following dishes:
    • Thai mango salad
    • Chicken in hot and sweet sauce
    • Chicken with lime and cilantro
    • Beef in teriyaki sauce
    • Bean, mango and corn stew
    • Mango and pineapple pie
  3. 3 Dry the mango slices. To do this, cut the mango into thin slices and dry them. For a sour taste, place the mango pieces in a sealed bag, add a little citric acid and stir well.
  4. 4 Finish.

Tips

  • You can make delicious smoothies and alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks with mango puree.
  • After turning the mango into puree, you can add it wherever you want. Amaze your guests by adding some mashed potatoes to the plate underneath their dessert.
