HANDLING TIPS
HOW TO PREPARE YOUR AVOCADO.
STEP 1
Using a large knife, cut the Avocado in half lengthwise around pit.
STEP 2
Twist the two halves to separate; the pit will remain in one of the halves.
STEP 3
Gently hack the knife blade
into the pit; twist and remove pit on the blade.
STEP 4
Peel the skin from the Avocado.
STEP 5
Slice for use in your chosen recipe.
STEP 6
Squeeze a small amount of lemon juice over the exposed Avocado flesh to prevent it discoloring.
