Have you ever tried to peel a mango? If you have done it as if it were a normal fruit and the mango in question was ripe (as it should be) you will have verified that the combination of its hard skin with its soft and juicy pulp results in a disaster in the kitchen and a crushed mango.
Well, if you don't want that to happen again, here is a guide on how to peel and cut a mango without making a mess, making clean cuts that keep all the juice of this delicious tropical fruit.
How to peel and cut a mango
As we have said, the mango has a relatively tough skin compared to the pulp. That makes it difficult to peel it like an apple or a peach. It's like trying to peel a plum with orange peel. Fortunately, not everything in the physiognomy of the mango works against us, since this fruit has a curious flat bone that will help us to obtain almost all its meat easily.
The first thing to do is find out the orientation of this flat bone. That is quite simple, we simply rest the handle on the table and the normal thing is that, due to the action of gravity, the handle stays in such a way that the flat bone will be parallel to the surface of the table.

The next step is to make two parallel cuts on both sides of this bone, approximately one centimeter from the center each. Thus we will avoid finding the bone, and we will obtain two parts only with pulp, and another with little more than the bone.
Finally, with the help of a small and sharp knife, we make an incision along the perimeter next to the skin, and several longitudinal and transverse cuts, but without going through the skin. Then, with the help of a spoon, we can easily separate these pieces from the skin. We can also turn the skin as if it were a grenade (or a sock).

With this simple trick to peel and cut a mango we will save sweat and tears when using this rich fruit in the kitchen. There are mango cutters on the market that can help us deboning it, but it really is that easy so you don't need another piece of junk in the drawer.
