Peeling Process Of An Avocado

Pieces of Avocado

  • Place the avocado in one hand or put it on the chopping board. Use a proper chef’s knife, cut it lengthwise from the center, and when the knife comes in contact with the pit, start continuously slicing around the pit until it meets its starting point.

  • Without removing the knife from the avocado, bend it gradually to detach the fruit into two parts.

  • Poke the knife hard on the pit embedded in the cavity. So when you move the blade, one half of the avocado with the hole will be removed from the pit.

  • Holding the avocado in your hand, bend the knife and remove it. This action will remove the pit of the avocado easily.

  • To remove the skin of the avocado, hold it in one hand. Then slide the spoon between the skin and the core (the portion which can be eaten). Firmly slice the spoon between every side of the avocado, remove its core. Do this process on the other half also.

  • If you undertake this process carefully, you can remove the core of the avocado in one swift move by using a spoon. You can also remove the stained part of the core.

  • The core or the pulp of the avocado gets stained very fast when it comes in contact with air. Use the peeled fruit spontaneously or wrap it with plastic to refrigerate.
