Preparation and serving method

To enjoy, wash mangoes in cold running water to remove dust and any pesticide residues. Mop dry outer surface using soft cloth. Mango fruit should be eaten all alone without any additions to experience its rich flavor.

Cut the fruit lengthwise into three pieces in such a way that the middle portion consists of husky seed. Slice underneath the skin to separate the skin from the pulp. Then, chop the pulp into small cubes.

Also, using a sharp knife, cut through the flesh down either side of the central seed. This way you get two big haves of a mango fruit. Then, take one half and score the flesh in a horizontal and vertical pattern taking care not to cut deep through skin. Invert the whole half to push out the cubes as shown in the photo:
