How to… Cut an Avocado!

Have you ever tried to bite into an avocado? I’m hoping your answer is no because avocados have pits that hard and cannot be cut through easily. So how do you cut an avocado properly?

First, wash your avocado thoroughly, nothing is worse than a dirty avocado. Now, marvel at the beauty of your avocado (ok, so maybe you can skip this part).

Next, wash your knife, nothing is worse than a dirty knife (that’s a lie, a dirty avocado is worse).

Now, hold your avocado and cut it vertically, make sure your knife hits the pit gently. Slowly turn your avocado so you have scored the whole fruit.

Put your knife down and hold the halves of your fruit in two hands. Turn one half away from you and the other towards you. Gently pull the halves apart.

You now have a cut avocado! What about that pit? Take a spoon and scoop it out, if your avocado is ripe enough it should come out cleanly.
