How to Cut A Mango – Bruno Albouze – THE REAL DEAL

Mango is a beneficial and healthy fruit that takes skill to cut. To properly cut the fruit, first cut the ends with a large knife. Than cut the outer peel off using several cuts and following the contours of the fruit. Use a paper towel to hold the mango if it is slippery. Cut the remaining fruit into 1/16 inch thick slices and dice those slices. These can be used on a wide variety of fruit dishes and desserts.

“When you buy a mango, it should have a fragrant, fruity aroma and yield slightly to pressure from your thumb.”

Key Takeaways:

• Mango is delicious, versatile (can be used for both sweet and savory) and good for you.
• When slicing mango be careful because the fruit can be slippery.
• Trim the ends – then slice off the sides – make the sides rectangles – julienne the sides – and then dice the julienne pieces into small squares.
