Mango Magic: The Spoon Trick You Didn’t Know

Who knew peeling a mango could be so effortless? I recently discovered a game-changing method that involves nothing more than a spoon. Yes, you read that right! Let’s dive into this simple yet brilliant technique.

The Spoon and Mango Duo

Why a spoon? It’s all about precision and ease. The curved shape of a spoon perfectly navigates the contours of the mango, removing the flesh without any fuss.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Cut the mango: Slice the mango in half lengthwise, removing the pit.
2. Score the flesh: Using a knife, gently score the flesh of each half in a crisscross pattern without cutting through the skin.
3. The magic begins: Take a large spoon and push it against the inside of the mango’s skin. The mango cubes will effortlessly pop out.

Tips:

• For a larger spoon, use the back of it to gently press the mango cubes out.
• If you prefer larger pieces, adjust the depth of your cuts.

Mango Magic: Beyond Peeling

Once you’ve mastered the spoon peeling technique, you can elevate your mango game. Try these ideas:

• Mango salsa: Combine diced mango, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and a touch of chili for a refreshing salsa.
• Mango smoothie: Blend frozen mango with yogurt, milk, and a splash of orange juice for a creamy treat.
• Mango sticky rice: A classic Thai dessert featuring sweet sticky rice topped with mango and coconut milk.

So, the next time you crave a juicy mango, remember this simple spoon trick. It’s a game-changer!
