We’ve got two mango trees in our yard in West Palm Beach. Some years we have had so many that I had to dig holes to bury over-ripe ones that fall.
That makes it very painful to pay a buck or more for small ones in the Cape grocery stores. Fortunately, when I went on my Fourth of July strawberry soda quest, I found mangoes and avocados on sale for close to a reasonable price.
I didn’t realize I was going photograph this for a blog post, so I made the mistake of cutting the prettiest mango first.
How do I peel a mango?
Unfortunately, it has been do long since I’ve peeled a mango that I couldn’t quite remember the most efficient way of doing it.
Fortunately, Wife Lila is an expert, and she explained exactly how to get to the good part of the mango without cutting yourself or taking a bath in the juice.
Click on the photo to be taken to her blog where she’ll explain everything in simple enough terms that even I did a passable job on my first try.
I dearly love fresh mangoes but have that “sticky-juice-running-down-the-arm” scenario when I try to peel them. BIG thanks to Lila for the lesson!
