A mango is so good, but it's not easy to peel and cut.
Especially if you don't want sticky fingers!
Fortunately, here's a simple little trick to peel it without the risk of getting it everywhere.
The trick is to use a glass to peel the mango:
1. Cut the mango lengthwise, keeping the blade of your knife as close to the pit as possible. The goal is to get as much flesh as possible on each side of the pit.
2. Once cut, take a solid and thick glass. Place one of the mango chunk pieces on the rim of the glass and press gently to scoop up the flesh.
3. Continue pressing the glass against the mango skin and the palm of your hand. Gently, but firmly, push the glass up to harvest all the flesh.
There you go, you have cut and peeled your mango without getting your fingers full of it :-)
To avoid breaking the glass and injuring yourself, remember to use strong and thick glass.
Go easy when pressing the glass to your palm so the glass doesn't break.
