The video excerpt demonstrates one specific method of preparing mangoes for use: removing the flesh from the skin.
Here's how the video suggests you do it:
- Cut the mango lobe: The video shows cutting each lobe of the mango into three sections.
- Separate flesh from skin: Using a knife, carefully slide the tip just under the skin. Gently roll the knife along the skin to separate the flesh.
