Peel the mangoes as ...

Hi

My apologies if I have asked this question somewhere else before, but...

When inexpert cooks such as myself peel items like mangoes, cucumbers or carrots, they cut too deep and a lot of -- shall I say substance? -- is wasted with the skin.

Keeping that situation in mind, would you say these sentences are natural? Any other typical way of saying this?

Don't peel the mangoes too deep.
Make sure to peel the reddish shallow.

Thanks,

Tom

When you peel a mango, don't waste any of the fruit, just remove the skin (peel).

mangoes - fruit / peel
cucumbers - flesh / skin If you have an organic cucumber leave the peel on. You're peeling away layers of nutritional value.
carrots - When it comes down to it, you don't ever really have to peel carrots. As long as you wash and scrub them well to remove dirt and any surface debris or hairs that are side roots, they are completely edible. Also the skin of zucchin
