How To Neatly Remove An Avocado Pit

 I LOVE avocados.  I don't say that casually.  I love them in the same way that I love watermelon or pumpkin pie - I could eat avocado at every meal.

Avocados taste great on salads, burgers, sandwiches, as guacamole, on burritos, with tomato and a light dijon vinaigrette, with a slice of tomato on a bagel, plain with salt and pepper, you name it.  And I am doing my best to encourage the same passion in my children (with success!).

Up until this year, however, I did not know how to neatly remove the pit.  I mangled it every single time.  My brother's mother-in-law introduced me to the proper way to remove a pit.  Tap it with a sharp knife, twist and voila! Out pops the pit.

So the next time you buy one of those lovely $2 organic avocados you can wow your family with a non-mangled presentation - even a neat little avocado fan - see a video on YouTube to find out how.
