Try to make thin and shallow cuts to avoid leaving too much mango flesh on the skin.

Hold on to the top or sides of the mango and cut thin slices away from your hand. Once you’ve peeled the mango successfully, only the skin on the top and bottom should remain.

This technique will only work if the mango is incredibly soft.

Slowly remove a section of its peel. If the by-hand method is still not working, use a knife to cut into the flesh, and then use your hand to peel it off.

If you have trouble separating the mango from the skin, just remove the mango from the peel with your teeth, and enjoy its taste.

If your hands get slippery from the juice and it’s difficult to hold the mango, wipe them off on a paper towel periodically.

You can eat the mango whole, or cut slice it into a bowl and eat it with a fork.
