how to cut mangoes.
-
cut each side off of a mango and then skin (filet) like a fish.
-
OK... I am from India...and its like we produce more than 1/3 of mangoes.. Tips to eat mangoes..: 1) Do not eat the skin! 2) Cut the mango into two halves and use a spoon to eat the pulp... 3) a recipe: add blend mango cubes with yogurt or milk, add some sugar and cardamom, refrigerate it....sprinkle some nuts and serve. Savory....mmm.

It is NOT highly unlikely to be allergic to peaches. My husband developed an allergy to a great many tree fruits about 20 years ago. He is allergic to fresh peaches, apples, plums, nectarines, cherries, almonds, and hazelnuts. He can eat them safely if they have been cooked. I know at least a couple other people who have the same kind of allergy. Be aware! -

Are you kidding? For some unlucky idiots like myself, we are allergic to the sap that comes from the mango skin. Our lips blow up, form pustules, then those start cracking and seeping and then they harden. The next time I eat a mango near the skin is the next time I have myself committed! Yes, the culprit is Urushiol -- say that fast, three times - and demoms appear, or bloody mary. I think I see bloody mary manifesting on my upper lip. Never again.

"My mother gets a similar rash from eating peaches this way." Not the same rash that was probably caused from a toxin used to keep bugs off of the peach. Peaches contain nothing that can harm you unless your allergic (highly unlikely) however with all produce you should wash well before use, unless you grow it yourself and know what has been used on it.

Sorry the site I got the info from was a little off, Mangoes are NOT in the same family as Ivy. They are in the same family as SUMAC. Also its not an oil. The allergin is an Oleoresin called Urushiol. Warning however Continued exposure to Urushiol can and will lead to an allergic reaction. Length and probability depend on person. and yes Once you have a reaction you will ALWAYS have a reaction.

The mango is in the same family as poison ivy and contains urushiol, though much less than poison ivy. Some people get dermatitis from touching mango peel or sap. Persons showing an allergic reaction after handling a mango can usually enjoy the fruit if someone else first removes the skin. While the peel is typically considered inedible, recent study has shown that it yields considerable extracts that can be used in antioxidant food supplements.[4] Consuming the peel itself is generally not advised as a painful rash or swelling may appear on the lips and face. *Hence if your allergic to Urushiol, do NOT consume the skin. Although I am going to experiment on ways to protect from the irritant as the peel tastes wonderful. I just dont like the itchy bumpies that come afterward.
