The small-fruited cultivars, usually somewhat yellow in colour, can be rolled on a flat surface in the same way a lemon is rolled before extracting the juice. It is ready for eating when the big stone can be rotated without breaking the skin. With the teeth, one can rip off a piece of skin at the top of the mango and place the mouth over the hole. The fruit can then be squeezed from the bottom up, as if squeezing toothpaste from the bottom of the tube.

With any of the large-fruited cultivars of mango, the operation is less hazardous: one can place the fruit lengthwise on a table and feel for the rather flat stone (containing the seed), which should lie horizontally inside the skin about midway through the fruit. The mango should be sliced so that the knife just passes over the flat surface of the stone. Then, turning it over, the process can be repeated, cutting across the other flat surface.


A mango cut using the "hedgehog" method
A woman selling mango in VenezuelaWith each big slice that has been removed, hatch marks should be cut through the flesh just down to the skin. Then, holding the portion flesh-side-up, one should press the thumb on the skin side underneath as if turning the piece inside out. Many bite-sized pieces of flesh will pop up and can be cut out to put into a fruit salad or other preparation. This technique is sometimes called the hedgehog method because of the appearance of the prepared fruit. An alternative to the hedgehog method is to use a spoon to scoop out pieces of the fruit from the exposed "cheeks".

Specialized mango splitters that make this job much easier became available in kitchen stores in 2005. They consist of an oblong-shaped central cutter and two outwardly extending cutters mounted in a frame with convenient handles.

A simple way to eat a large mango 'as is' involves using a knife. This involves removing part of the skin and then slicing out bite-sized pieces with the knife. More skin can be removed to expose more flesh. One should expect to get juicy hands when eating the last part, when there is no skin to hold with the hand.

Another way to eat a mango is to simply use a sharp knife to peel the skin completely, then making horizontal and vertical cuts on each side till the flat stone is reached. Then the flesh should be sliced off from each side of the stone. After this the remaining flesh left on the side of the stone should be sliced. This method works best on mangoes that are ripe and which have firm flesh. Another simpler way to enjoy mangos is to buy them frozen or dried as they are becoming more common in this form in local markets.
