For a really nutritious smoothy cut the seed in quarters and add it to the blender when making a smoothy. The seed is supposed to be the most nutritous part of the avacado and is supposed to taste like chestnut.

You cut around the middle of an avocado to cut it in half. There's a big seed in the middle. If you want, you can plant the seed and grow a very attractive avocado tree. Avocados are delicious. They darken, though, when exposed to oxygen, so eat soon after peeling and dicing.

I use my very clean fingers..smile It's not to hard though you may have to scrap some with a fork or knife. The secret is you need to try different options till you find what works for you. I find it easy for me to squeeze the side and the insides just push out and if I need to I will scrape anything with a fork. I will at times try different ways just to see what else I can try.

It's not hard, tricky, but not hard What I do is take a avocado in one hand and cut from the top to the bottom then again on the other side like 4's Then I peel the skin Or if making guacomolie I spoon it out. Practice makes it so much easier every time.smile You will never know till you try.

You don’t want it to be mushy, but when its ripe you should be able to feel a little bit of give or softness to it. I love them cut up in my salad and guackomoli too!

Sometimes I eat it in a salad. Is it typical for it to be stringy?
