How-to Pit a Mango
The mango is one of the most cultivated and consumed fruits in the world. It’s also one of the most versatile. In addition to eating it alone, it goes great in sweet and savory dishes. Think: ice cream and smoothies, or, on the flip side, chutney, curry, and salsa. Too bad it’s so dang hard to pit. The mango doesn’t have a traditional small, round pit. Instead, it has a long, flat pit shaped like an oval. The pit is also fibrous, and the fruit clings to it all too well. You can’t eat the peel of a mango either, as it contains oils similar to poison ivy and sumac. So just how do you get to that juicy center? Elise from Simply Recipes gives us this step-by-step illustrated guide, which results in perfect bite sized pieces.
