Place the mango on a flat surface like a cutting board, and cut into it all around (score it) with a big knife. Then pull the two sides apart. The pit will remain in one side only. Then use your fingers (or if necessary, your teeth) to hold the pit in place, and twist the other half to release the pit. Then eat what remains in the peel with a spoon. These Yellow Mangoes are perfect for that dessert technique. Rob >> Gee, this is the technique I have used for years with avocados. Of course, before scooping out with a spoon, you can fill the seed hole with salsa. Or sprinkle the whole thing with your powder of choice. Marilyn
