Mango

[Flummery]

Goodness, after seeing that picture, I am tempted to go and buy a mango just to open the stone and see if I can find one of those!! Any tips on method for opening?

Banana, mango and strawberry smoothie for tea anyone?

CAREFULLY! The stone is very slippery Shirl, so you ned to grip it quite carefully. I opened it at the top (i.e. away from the bit where the stalk was attached) but slightly to one side so I didn't chop off any potential shoot. I inserted a sharp serrated knife and sort of wiggled it about until I had an opening in which I could insert a digit, then tore the outer casing. Real voyage of discovery.

Wow I had no idea that was inside. Thanks for the photo Flummery. Nearly finished mine (bits go in my yogurt for lunch each day!), so will give it a go at the weekend.
