What is the proper way to eat a mango?

To eat a mango, cut it open using a serrated knife. Hold the mango down on a cutting board and cut off the sides, avoiding the pit. Score the halves lengthwise and widthwise. Turn the flesh out so the scored mango pieces stick up, and cut off the pieces.

Mangoes can be eaten by themselves, added to salads, smoothies and salsas, or used to top pancakes, ice cream, yogurt and cakes. They can be cooked or eaten raw, and are low in calories. Mangoes are in season from May to September. Once cut, they should be eaten within two days.
