2 new Aussie hacks to peel a mango

Using every day items. - by Olivia Hart
  • 07 Sep 2020

With summer fast approaching and mango season setting in, Aussies are starting to weigh in on their latest mango hacks.

WATCH: How to slice a mango

It’s safe to say we’re a nation obsessed with mangoes. Most would count it as their top tier fruit and everyone seems to have their own ‘right way’ of peeling it.

Some people cut the sides off and cube it, while others use a glass to peel the skin. Two new mango hacks have been floating around the internet with the use of everyday items, and we think they might be worth a try. 

Shaver

This method is fairly easy and requires that you trade in a knife for a shaver. All you have to do is carefully shave your mango like you might with your knee and ta da! A mess-free alternative. While we're a fan of this option, we're not too sure about keeping a shaver in the kitchen drawer. 

Credit Card

This option is definitely inventive but much messier. Cut off the top of your mango and then slip a credit card under the skin and peel it off. A little weird but still effective.

Whichever you’re feeling brave enough to try, let’s hope it’s a game-changer.
