I just found out that Mangos are high in sodium so I won't be using
them anymore for smoothies.

If it tastes good. I am pretty sure I should not eat it.

Note that one "peals" a bell, but "peels" a mango.

About the only thing that might work is hollowing out the
mango, then freezing it in a very cold freezer until it is
hard-frozen and brittle. Then, suspend it from a string
and hit it with a mallet.

It doesn't actually "peel" a mango but OXO sells a corer. Chunks of
mango can then be removed from the rind with a *blunt* knife or a
spoon. It tends to leave a certain amount of fruit on the seed but that
can be treated as the cook's perquisite!

Mangos contain so little sodium as to be insignificant, like your
pinhead IQ... pealed like a ding-a-ling.

According to the USDA, one cup of raw mango has 3 grams of sodium. I
would not call that "high" at all.

Most people trying to limit sodium try to consume less than 2
grams/day, often less than one gram. To determine if you have
sodium-sensitive hypertension, you need to consume under
100 mg/day for a few weeks. Very few people ever try
to sustain that level (it would mean never eating in
any sort of restaurant). But if you can offhandedly decide
to consume 3 grams of sodium, you're not following a low
sodium diet I would say.

The video as well as the Martha Stewart on using a mango fork does not
explain that the mango grows from the stem side down (like most fruit) and
the fibers run in that direction. If you want to peal a mango always peal
from the stem side towards the pointed end. Otherwise the fibers in the
mango will pull the flesh apart.

oops! it was 3 *mg* not g. I didn't read the column correctly. I'm soooo
used to counting carbs for DH who is diabetic that I automatically think
every measurement is a gram. My boo-boo.

So can we agree that 3 mgs is not a lot of sodium?

For sure! Thanks.

I was always told to strip down to a bathing suit, stand in a large
body of water, and just slice and eat. Afterwards, dunk to rinse
yourself off, since a ripe mango is just not eat-able neatly.

Well, actually, it's 1,000 cups of mango. Anybody who can eat that much
is superman.

LOL! I always heard that you need to be naked, in the shower. After
finishing the mango, you turn on the shower to clean up. Makes sense to me.
