Q: In supermarkets sometimes i have bought mango chunks in Bags, ..but i don't understand how they make it out of the hairy material that mango is or even... though some parts in a real mango are soft and chewable but it's not much..it's not like an apple where you have alot of chewable stuff, in real mangos you have the hairy thing mixed with the actual pulp, and i say perhaps you get a couple of spoon fulls out of it, but it's not much. ... how do they make big pieces of mango chunks. do they join them with a machine?
A: Mangos are only messy and kind of like hair if they are over ripe. they should feel firm yet slightly soft to the touch. Then they cut beautifully.
You can make chunks from a mango by cutting down the sides of the mango around the pit. Then when you have a half cut make criss cross cuts into the flesh and bend the skin back and the chunks will come off. Mangos are very healthy and versatile. We love to make salsa with them.
get a sharp knife and accept that your hands will get juicy. peel the mango. then you can cut big chunks off. when you are done, there is still quite a bit of mango on the big ol' seed, and this is where it gets hairy. you can throw it out or you can suck the juice off it without trying to deal with the hairs.
that's what i do anyway
