Removing an avocado Pit
This tip will save you time and more importantly, help prevent mangling your delicious avocado.
First make sure you wash and dry your avocado. This helps prevent anything that might be on the outside from getting into the inside when you cut it. With a sharp knife start at the top near the stem and slice the entire way around to cut the avocado in half. Grasp both sides and twist, this will separate the avocado into two halves. Place the side containing the pit on your cutting board and briskly strike the center of the pit with your knife. It should embed slightly into the pit. Raise your knife and place your other hand under the bottom of the avocado. Hold the knife steady and gently twist the avocado. The pit will stay wedged on your knife and you won’t lose any of the delicious fruit. Enjoy. Please see the short demonstration video below.
