Notes

Scroll up to the post above for the step by step photos on how to chop a mango.
Mangoes have a pit inside. Therefore, the first line of business is the cut on both side of the pit as close as you can all the way through. Now, you will have 2 meaty mango halves and one with the pit. Take one of the mango meaty halves and hold it in your non-dominant hand. With your dominant knife skilled hands make a slices into the flesh (about 5 slices) but not all the way through the skin downward. Then, turn your mango 180 degrees and cut the other way about 5 slices.
The number of slices you make into the mango is determined by how big you want your mango cubes to be.
Larger cubes = less slices
Smaller cubes = more slices
Next, you take your mango half that has the cuts in it and with your hands push from the skin side upward so that the cubes of the mango are exposed. Now, you can either use a knife to cut away the mango cubes or use a spoon and scoop out the mango cubes. Both ways work well. It just depends on what way you prefer or feel more comfortable.
The last part of the mango chopping process is the remove the skin from around the pit portion of the mango. You can then cut off the mango flesh and cut into cubes or maybe that is the portion that is for the chef.
