How Do You Cut a Mango for Juicing?

To cut a mango for juicing, the easiest method is to slice off the 'cheeks' and then scoop out the flesh, or slice the flesh into a grid pattern and scoop it out.

Here's a more detailed breakdown, assuming you want to maximize juice yield:

1. Wash the Mango: Rinse the mango thoroughly under cool water.

2. Identify the Orientation: Stand the mango on its end, stem side up. The mango has a long, flat seed in the center.

3. Cut the Cheeks: Slice down along either side of the seed, creating two large 'cheeks' of mango flesh.

4. Scoop the Flesh:

   • Method 1 (Simple Scooping): Use a spoon to scoop the flesh directly from the mango cheeks. This is straightforward but can leave some flesh behind.

5. Cut the Remaining Flesh: The remaining flesh around the seed can be cut off and added to the juicer. Use a knife to carefully remove the flesh from around the seed.

6. Juice: Place all the collected mango flesh into your juicer.
