Peel, remove pit. Slice along the flat sides of the pit into thick finger-length spears. Ripe mango is very slippery, offering a spear with a thin strip of peel attached on one side helps with grip.
Small cubes from very ripe mango. Roll in hemp seeds or baby oatmeal if too slippery. Great for pincer grip practice.
Any preparation, smoothies, lassi, salsas, or alongside fish and chicken.
Garden notes
Mango is related to poison ivy, some children with skin sensitivities react to the skin (not the flesh). Always peel fully before serving. The flesh is safe from 6 months. Grows as a tree in USDA zones 10-12; dwarf container varieties are possible in colder zones with overwintering indoors.
