Mango Spears

Ingredients

• 1 ripe mango

Method

1. 01

   Select a ripe mango that gives slightly when pressed.

2. 02

   Stand the mango on its end and slice off both cheeks next to the flat stone.

3. 03

   Score the flesh of each cheek in a grid pattern without cutting through the skin.

4. 04

   Push the skin upward to reveal cubes, then slice off the chunks.

5. 05

   Alternatively, peel the mango and cut into long spears for easy gripping.

How to offer

Place 2–3 mango spears on the high chair tray. The long shape makes them easy for baby to grip and bring to mouth. Supervise closely and use only ripe, soft mango.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
