​This is a simple hack. If you are experienced in prepping mangoes, then this hack is not for your, however, if you are not, then use my hack to make your life easier, smile.

I love mangoes. I am originally from the Caribbean, where mangoes grow like crazy and the varieties are endless. In fact, I had a mango tree in my back yard. Anyway, I really never researched the nutritional benefits of eating mangoes, other than they are a good source of vitamin C, so, finally, I just did and these are some of the good stuff we get when we eat them.
​
Mangoes are:
High in vitamin C, potassium, lutein, fiber and boost the immune system. On top of that, the orange color of the mango peel contains beta carotene, an anti-cancer agent. However, although the peel is edible, some people are allergic to it because it contains the same compound of poison ivy and oak. I personally never ate the peel and will never try to eat it.
 
How to Peel and Slice or cut a Mango: (Read or just follow my slide presentation.)
  1. Rinse it well, and pat dry. Why? Because that mango was handled by many people before you.
  2. Slice both ends, especially the top in order to make it more stable to peel.
  3. Stand the mango upright on your cutting board.
  4. With a sharp knife, start removing the skin very carefully.
  5. Next, and very careful, since it will be kind of slippery in your hand, slice the fruit from one end, then do the opposite end.
  6. Now, turn the mango seed kind of parallel to you and start slicing the smaller side pieces.
  7. Finally, you can cut the large pieces into whatever you plan to make, i.e., cubes, slices or just eat the fruit as is, smile. So Yummy!
