Trying to peel a mango with a peeler is a very dangerous task indeed.  The mango is far to sticky and slippery to try and wrangle with your normal peeler, here’s a quick and easy way to peel and slice your mangoes without fear of losing a finger.  Keep in mind this tip is also great for other fruits.

Step 1 - Cut both ends off of your mango, this will give you a steadier base to begin peeling.

 

 

 

 

Step 2 - You can see the mango will sit up nicely now for you to start peeling.

 

 

 

 

Step 3 - Using a very sharp knife, peel the skin away from the flesh by running the knife along the side of the mango.  Rotate the mango on your board and repeat this step, until all the skin is removed from the fruit.

 

 

 

Step 4 - Once you have removed the skin - slice the sides off the mango.  The pit in the mango is flat and runs down the middle of the fruit.  You will be able to see it, now that you have removed the top and bottom.  After you have removed all of the flesh from the mango, you can dice it any size you would like. 

 

 

You can see in this photo where the pit of the mango is, you want to remove as much flesh as possible around the pit.
