Make sure you wash the fruit thoroughly, as indicated, before cutting or slicing it.

Hold the avocado firmly with one hand as shown in the image.

Cut slowly through the center, along and around the seed, starting at the narrowest part.

According to the US Food and Drug Administration. (FDA, for its acronym in English), when you prepare any fresh food, always start with clean hands. Wash your hands for 20 seconds with warm water and soap before and after preparing the food.

All foods should be washed well before consumption. This includes both products grown traditionally or organically in the home, as well as products purchased in a store or supermarket. Wash fruits and vegetables under the tap water immediately before eating, cutting or cooking.

Even if you are going to peel the product before consuming it, it is also important that you wash it first.

Drying the food with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels also helps eliminate the bacteria present.

When preparing fresh avocados, be sure to avoid cross-contamination of food. Keep the food preparation area clean and free of other foods, such as meat, poultry or fish. Pay attention to other foods or surfaces with which the avocado can come into contact.

Once the avocado is cut, remove the seed with a spoon.

It is easier to remove the skin by cutting the avocado into segments or sections.

Remove the seed (or leave it if you intend to save half) by sliding a spoon between the seed and the pulp. Carefully push the seed to separate it from the pulp.

In fresh ripe avocados, removing the outer skin or husk is simple. Simply cut the avocado into quarters or segments as shown in the image

Then, hold the avocado on the outside or shell and strip to separate it from the green interior of the fruit. If there is any dark, almost black part of the peel in the green part of the fruit, simply cut it off. What you need is avocado pulp. Do not eat the skin.

Note:

If the fruit is not fully ripe, it may be harder to peel it.
