Summer's diet revolves around mangoes. Fruit platters, mango shakes, mango chutney, salads, and even mango curry - eating mangoes can never be too much this time of the year. We don't mind having mangoes every day, sometimes even multiple times a day, but we all wish it were easier to peel them. While the viscid mango pulp is delicious to eat, it can create quite a gloopy mess while being peeled out from the mango skin. A regular vegetable and fruit peeler doesn't work well, and peeling with a knife is not exactly successful. But today, we are happy to break it to you that you don't need either of the two.

With the help of a glass, you can peel a mango in two ways. You can pick whichever you are comfortable working with. First, you need to cut the mango with the peel in two halves, leaving the seed alone. Cut around both sides of the seed, lengthwise, and you'll get two large slices of the mango with the peel.
Now, hold a slice in one hand and the glass in another. Place the rim of the glass against one end of the slice it and slide the glass all the way up to the other end of the mango. This way, the peel will remain in your hand and the flesh will collect in the glass.
