Please don't laugh, but I have a mango and I don't know how to go about eating it! Do I peel it? Can I eat the peel? Will it come off the pit easily?

I am laughing- but only because I love you!!! You must peel the skin off- its not edible. There is a large seed in the middle of the mango that you cant eat either. Slice the mango between 1/3 and 1/2 of the way in, lengthwise, and you should miss the seed in the middle. Then, you can either just bite, or cut pieces of the flesh to eat! Enjoy your yummy treat!

You dont have to peel before you cut- you can cut then just bite the flsh off of the skin. Be careful though- some people have a reaction to the skin so they cant use this method!

oh uppy! \:D yes, what elf said.

whenever i get mangos that are REALLY ripe (they feel kinda squishy and soft) i leave the skin on and just slice it. then i use the knife tip to slice a grid into the flesh. then i use a spoon to scoop out the squares of mango ;9

i want some mango now!!!!
