- What is the best way to cut a Kensington Pride mango?
- One of the best ways to cut a juicy ripe Kensington Pride is via the ‘grid’ or ‘hedgehog’ technique.
- Simply follow these steps:
- Place the mango vertically on your cutting board.
- Slice the two largest cheeks off the mango.
- Slice a grid into both cheeks’ flesh – be sure to cut deep but no so deep that it cuts the skin!
- Now for the fun part – pop open your cheek with the grin marks by pushing up against the skin until the grid opens into the ‘hedgehog’ shape. Grab a spoon and scoop the mango segments or skip the spoon and bite them off directly!
- Trim the remaining parts of the mango – there should still be a fair amount of fruit around the seed – you can use a spoon or just bite around the skin and seed.
