Avocado! :e6:

I love avocado, whether it be in a salad or sandwich but the absolute best way to eat an avocado is in the form of…guacamole :wub:

To cut an avocado nicely, first it has to be ripe but not super duper soft
Then cut in length wise following the seed
Once you have halves, take out the seed by striking your knife onto the seed and twisting the seed out of place
You can then either use a spoon to scoop the avocado out in one pieace and cut it then on a cutting board
OR cut it in the skin and then take it out…it should come out in nice perfect slices

Happy avocado eating!!

It's a fruit and I guess it's originates from South America, you can find it in any vegi&fruit market in UK.

Re: Avocado

^No, I don't think so. It's very soft and creamy so no need to cook.

Re: Avocado

I cut an avocado in half, remove the pit, and eat it just like that, with a spoon! :yummy:

Avocados have many health benefits…mainly the fact that they are the best fruit source of vitamin E, which helps protect against many diseases…oh and it’s great for your skin!

This is the technique i use for slicing…works every time:

Re: Avocado

I love eating avocado. I can eat it with almost everything! Sometimes I eat it with brown sugar sprinkled on top - just because I have a sweet tooth.

But my fav’ is making a side-green salad using chopped avocado, green peppers, lettuce, cucumbers and a little bit of coriander leaves and lemon juice sprinkled on top.
