    • Wash mango before cutting it, don’t wash mangoes after cutting.
    • If you don’t have proper cutting blade then purchase mangoes then get it cut from them. (Cutting charges are extra)
    • If you are using readymade cut mangoes then don’t wash it.
    • If you do not have option for readymade cutting or you don’t have blade then just cut with knife without cutting its seed. Seed is too hard to cut with regular knife.
