What are the layers of an apple?
In the center of the avocado is a pit. The pit is usually larger than a gumball, and is a dark brown color. Surrounding the pit is the light green flesh of the avocado. The flesh achieves a more pasty quality as the avocado softens and ripens. Finally, covering the light green flesh of the avocado is a rough dark green-ish brown skin. The skin and pit are typically removed when eating the avocado.
