The crazy mango hack that’s gone viral online

We’ve been cutting up mangoes all wrong. - by Laura Barry

The crazy mango hack that’s gone viral online

Mangoes are a warm-weather treat in Australia, and the presence of mangoes on grocery store shelves often signals the arrival of summer. In fact, Australians love mangoes so much that in the 2018 to 2019 year, around 11 million trays of mangoes were produced domestically.  That’s a whole lot of mangoes.

However, it seems that mango-lovers have been cutting up the delicious fruit all wrong. A mango-cutting hack has appeared on the internet, and it is genius.

Now, we’ve shown you how to remove the skin of a mango using a glass…

And how to slice up a mango…

But did you know there is a third way to open a mango? Simply use a knife to slice a mango right around the middle, then twist! However, there is a catch – this trick only works if your mango has a more cylindrical seed, than a flat disc-shaped seed, and it needs to be well and truly ripe.

Now that you've got a mango ready to eat why not try your hand at a few recipes? Start with this mango cheesecake with macadamias and lime syrup or try this mango, avocado and macadamia salad.
