warningStay safe

Exercise caution with the knife when cutting fruit. Keep a firm grip to prevent slips.

Wash fresh mangoes, cut off fruit flesh along both sides of the pit, score crosshatch lines, pop out the cubes, and slice into small diced pieces (approx. 400g needed in total).

Watch out

Be careful with the knife depth when scoring to avoid cutting your hands through the skin.
