The Correct Way to Cut An Avocado [Food Hack]

You’ve been cutting avocados wrong your entire life
If you plan on only eating half the avocado… don’t cut it lengthwise
Instead…
Cut it across the middle!
Less of the fruit is exposed to the air
Protecting it from browning all over
Wrong! X [Cutting length-wise]
Right! [Cutting across the middle]

The difference in surface area is negligible. Slicing lengthwise makes it easier to scoop out the flesh. You can also lay down both halves if you slice it lengthwise, for example if you want to use it as a bowl for some choice filing (diced tomato and mozzarella in balsamic for a "California Caprese"). Cut it crosswise and only half lays flat.

This is all wrong... big time! First always cut length wise. Second never hack your way through an avocado like you're sawing wood. Instead use the seed or pit as a pivot after just one slice into the avocado and turn the avocado and knife until the initial slice cuts completely around the fruit. Then twist to separate into two halves... now listen up folk here's the clincher. This may take a little practice but it's the best way to remove the pit without making a mess of the whole thing. Hold the avocado in one hand and a knife in the other now with a shape whack to the middle of the pit the blade will be buried into the pit about a quarter inch now give the knife a quick turn and presto the pit is remove still stuck to the knife leaving the avocado as pristine as the one's you see on commercials... then enjoy this incredible gift to the human taste buds!

Does anyone really care if it gets brown? It doesn't taste any different, and chances are you will make guac so it will not matter anyway. Also this way is harder to scoop out.
