To prepare the Raw mango, cut a small piece from the bottom, or beak, for stability while cutting. Locate the seed in the center, and remove both halves around the stone. Specialized mango cutter or slicers are sometimes used to maximize the amount of flesh. Once the stone is removed, the flesh can be scored and removed from the skin. Diced Raw mango can be added to both hot and cold dishes. Mangoes are a good addition to marinades and because of the different enzymes they contain, they are good tenderizing agents for steaks, poultry or pork. Grate Raw mangoes for salads or slaws.
