I tried roasting them inside the shells so that they would be firmer and easier to crack. I tried the rolling pin method from Google, it was crap lol
I'll have to try the bowl method... if it doesn't work I'll get some good muscles from it I suppose; I have been rather slack on the exercise...
We have terrible trouble with bats and possums eating our fruit. I didn't realise that you could pick mangoes early... Is there a specific time that I should pick? When do I know when to pick a mango so that it isn't too early and the fruit doesn't ripen off the tree but not too late that the...
