- 1). Stand the mango vertically on a cutting board, with the stem-side down.
- 2). Cut the mango into thirds: make the first cut from the top of the fruit down to the bottom on the right side of the seed, then make a second cut from top to bottom on the left side of the seed. You should now have three slices -- the two fleshy sides of the mango with no seed, and a middle section with the intact seed.
- 3). Scoop out the mango from the two seedless pieces with a tablespoon, or use a sharp knife to cut a checkerboard pattern into the fruit, and cut the fruit cubes off with a paring knife. Place the fruit into a bowl and dispose of the skin in your trash or compost.
- 4). Set the third piece flat on a cutting board and remove the fruit from the pit with a paring knife. Place the fruit in your bowl. If you'd like to prepare the pit for germination, move to the next step.
- 5). Scrub the pit with a scouring pad to remove fruit remnants and use a chisel to make a small cut. Your pit is now ready to germinate.
