is that they evolved like thousands of years ago to feed like humongous animals that are

no longer in existence. They’re extinct, not extant. I’m going to show you how to

cut this up around the giant pit that used to get crunched up by big mammoth molars.

[How To Cut Up a Mango]

[Learn To Cook]

>>Hilah: Okay, so here’s our friendly little friend the mango, so the deal is there’s

this giant kind of flattened pit in here that takes up approximately like the middle third

of the fruit, so you just kind of like estimate about a third of the way in. . . .bloop! and

choke off that little mango cheek. See the big mango cheek, and then what do you do with

this part because the skin tastes gross. I don’t want to eat it like that. This is

how you do it. You very, very carefully not cut all the way through the skin like I just

did a little bit. I almost cut myself. Yikes! Don’t do that! Okay, so just kind of gently

cutting into the flesh and like, little scoring it like that, and then you pop it inside out.

Look how adorable that is, and if you wanted to you could probably turn that into a little

mango porcupine thing for a baby or something. Okay, so then you cut off the little chunkies

that are sticking up, just like so, and totally perfect little cubes and/or pyramids of mango.

See, ha! Look at that! Adorable! Oh wait! But what about this part? I got so distracted

with the cute little chunks I almost forgot. So, I like to just kind of peel it off like

this and um, when I was a kid my mom would just like give us this thing to like chew

on, and we would fight about who got to chew on it more, so you could do that, you could

totally just give it to a child to chew on, or you can peel it like that and kind of cut

into it at an angle to get all the last little bits of mango flesh. It’s not going to be

adorable cubes. It’s definitely going to be delicious flesh like that. Yay!
