📝 Preparation Steps
1
Start by peeling the mango in its entirety.

2
Cutting mangos are a little bit tricky because of the core at the center. Believe it or not, you can make a large cut into the mango on the sides that are tighter into the mango as opposed to the ends that flare out more. See the picture below for the larger chunk of pineapple where my fingertips are touching.

3
Slice off the end of the mango to keep it from rocking while slicing it.

4
Cut down on the mango on the side that is tighter to the core. You will get about 1” inch to a 1 ½” inches thick slice.

5
Repeat the process on the direct other side of the core.

Next, lay the mango flat and slice down on the bowed-out ends carving around the core. This part will only be about a ½” inch to ¾” thick.

7
Make angled slices at the top and bottom and on both sides to get the remaining edible mango away from the core.

To make a medium to large dice, cut the slices in half widthwise.
10
Turn the mangos and make ½” thick slices.
