Mango: the cut follows the pit

Useful to know

The mango pit is large and flat, so the cut is not made as in a fruit with a small round pit. Iowa State describes separating the fleshy sides around it and subsequent cutting of the interior. [1]

He's working on a stable board. After separating the sides, choose whether you need slices, cubes or a meaty part for sauce. When slicing a grid, it is not necessary to pierce the crust: the goal is to form pieces in the interior, not to press the knife to the palm.

For the first time, don't aim to get perfectly matching cubes from the whole fruit. The part near the pit may have a different shape and be used in other preparation. It is a proposal to reduce excess work, not a promise of a certain yield from each mango.
