Here's today's Tip/Kitchen Hack: Mangoes have been popping up in the markets and I'm so excited. Today I'm sharing a few tips that can help you sharpen your cutting skills this season. See what I did there haha 😂 - Mangoes have a large, flat seed in the centre. Make sure to cut around the seed to remove the fleshy cheeks on either side.
- Mangoes can be slippery, so be careful when holding them while cutting. To make it easier, you can use a towel or a non-slip mat to hold the mango in place.
- Mangoes can be quite fibrous, so make sure to score the flesh deeply enough to avoid leaving any tough fibres in the fruit.
- Mangoes contain a sap that can cause irritation to the skin. If you are sensitive to this sap, you may want to wear gloves while cutting the mango.
- Mangoes can vary in ripeness, so choosing a mango that is ripe enough to cut easily but not too ripe that it is mushy is essential.
- If you're not sure how to tell when a mango is ripe, look for visual cues such as the colour and feel of the skin. A ripe mango will often have a reddish-yellow or orange colour, and be soft yet firm to touch. Alternatively, you can smell the mango near the stem. A ripe mango will smell more fruity and aromatic than an unripe one. Be sure to sniff and touch to pick the right mango!
