Have you ever tried to scoop out an avocado and gotten disgusted at the brown skin that gets scooped out with the green meat? How about getting frustrated with how many little bad spots there are to cut out? How long does it actually take you to cut up an avocado? 2, maybe 3 minutes to get all the good parts out with none of the bad?
Try this:
Cut the avocado in half lengthwise with a sharp knife.
Cut the half without the seed in half once again.
Peel the skin back from the pointy end to the base.
Watch all the little blemishes come off with the skin, leaving little to nothing to cut out!
Use your knife to make hit on the seed in the other half, twist, and pull out the seed.
Repeat steps 3-4.
This works perfectly up until the avocado is overripe. At that point, the skin starts to break away but it still doesn't leave the brown scum on your fruit. This all takes maybe 30-45 seconds to do
I hope this helps in your food prep. Let me know how it works for you!

Still unsure about the first part, cutting it in half. Without the seed means you are cutting in half by slicing through and twisting it up or down to make sure one half comes off cleanly but the other still holds the seed?
It takes literally 2 seconds to scoop each half out of the skin with a spoon.
This isn’t a hack. It’s the way everyone cuts an avocado.
