How do I prepare an avocado?
Avocado Preparation
First remove the stem from the fruit. Using a sharp knife, slice the avocado in half, turning the avocado on the blade as you slice. Twist the avocado halves to pull apart.
If possible, scoop the seed out with a spoon. If the seed won't come out with a gentle tug, then pierce the seed with your knife. Give the blade a gentle twist and remove the seed.
Make a small slice down the skin on the outside, and simply peel it away.
Now you are ready to serve it, slice or mash for guacamole.
