U.S. Surgeon General Vivek H. Murthy shared a very fruitful tutorial on cutting a mango — along with some juicy stories. Murthy showed off his peeling and dicing skills and recalled a story about his parents immigrating from India to the U.S. in a video for 'Bon Appetit' magazine on Wednesday. It was titled 'How to cut a mango like a surgeon .' Murthy said that his parents wanted to 'recreate India in the backyard,' once arriving in the U.S.
'Whenever mango season came we would peel them all day long and make mango dishes out of them,' Murthy said. 'Mango bread, mango pudding, mango ice cream, mango cake, mango lassi.' Murthy, 47, is the first Indian American surgeon general and the youngest active-duty flag officer in federal uniformed service. He was raised in Miami — the perfect climate to grow mangoes. Murthy helped lead the national response to global health issues including Ebola and the Zika virus.
