How to Prepare Avocados?

Answer 1

Avocados can be hard to cook with because many cooks have difficulty picking out ripe ones or preparing them. It is not as hard as it looks! To pick a ripe avocado, first avoid the bright green ones and instead choose a dark brown fruit. The dark brown ones are actually the ripe avocado. Second, gently press your thumb into the avocado. If it leaves a small imprint, it is ripe. If it is too hard or resistant, try another!

When you get the avocado home, leave it on the counter. If it is very ripe, use as soon as possible. When cutting the avocado, slice down the middle, rotating the knife to go around the large pit. Next, twist the avocado halves until they come apart. The pit should be in one of the halves. Place knife inside pit and pull out. Next, use a spoon to separate skin and flesh. Place spoon right under the skin of the avocado and slide downward until flesh pops out.
