Peel the Mango: You can peel the mango with a knife or a peeler. R2E2 mangoes have a thick skin that needs to be removed before eating.

Slice the Mango: Hold the peeled mango vertically and cut along the flat pit in the center. You'll end up with two large mango "cheeks" and a center section containing the pit.

-
Dried Mango: You can dehydrate mango slices to make dried mango for a portable and healthy snack.
