Tip: How to peel and cut a mango
Mango is one of my favourite tropical fruits and its unique spicy-sweet and tangy flavour can be easily appreciated by many.
The skin of mangoes is smooth and thin but though, varying from yellow to red, with patches of green, red or purple. The green disappears as mangoes ripen.
Mangoes also look perfect as decoration since they can be perfectly diced with an easy technique (that I used in a recipe I published some time ago, the Tres leches cake).
This is a recap on how to peel and cut a mango into cubes without barbarically destroying it! 🙂
