Here is how to pick a ripe mango.
1. Look for mangoes with smooth skin (no wrinkles).
2. When squeezed it should “give” like an avocado.
3. It should have a sweet smell at the stem end.
4. Red color seems to be more sweet than non red mangoes. What is your experience?
5. I look for “sugar spots”. The more the better.
My favorite way to dice or make spears out of a mango is to peel it first with a sharp paring knife.
A potato peelers doesn’t work well for me at it tends to tear a nice ripe mango.
Once it’s peeled I cut a small piece off the stem end so it can stand up and is pretty stable.
I cut off the cheek following the widest part of the mango. I demo in the video. Remember the seed is fairly flat and oval shaped.
Then I cut or dice the cheeks to what ever size I need. Small cubes for salsa and spears for appetizers and grilling on the barbeque.
That’s pretty much it. I love using fresh mango on ice cream or yogurt, in a smoothie along with salsas and wrapped with asparagus and prosciutto.
It’s a great tropical tasting fruit with plenty of vitamin C.
Enjoy!

Hello Ms. Robin, your videos are the best. Professional, down to the point, and you have a very sweet personality. Best, Ms. Alba
I like to cut my mango with my teeth. I don't share it.
I'm with Ange, I love mangos! Ty Robin.
You're adorable ! LOL I'm new to the 'mango' but loved this vid :):) Tks for the info & smiles (& tango!)
"slice your cheeks off"… uhm, I'd rather not. I'm not into self-mutilation. 😉
Anyway, I usually do it your way. First peeling than liberating the flesh from the seed.
I love your videos!
Great tip !! Thanks Robin
