The fruit of the evergreen fruit plant of the laurel family can increasingly be seen as an ingredient on the festive table. The fruit is pear -shaped, with a dense peel. In some varieties, the peel of the fetus is smooth, in others - rough. The pulp inside the avocado is oily.
How to clean the exotic fruit of the peel? This will be discussed in our article.
Do I need to clean the avocado before use?
Before we start cleaning the avocado, we suggest you familiarize yourself with how to choose a truly delicious fetus.
An overripe fruit (dent remains from the finger after pressing the fruit) is better not to use for food, since the taste of such a fetus is unsatisfactory.
You need to buy an exotic fruit with a hard peel. If there are cracks or damage on the peel, then it is better to leave such a fruit on the store shelf.
Do not load the basket with too soft exotic fruits. If the avocado is soft, then it is overripe, and most likely spoiled.
To check the stage of maturity of the avocado, you can conduct a small test: press on the pulp with your finger and if the resulting dent will disappear within 20 seconds, then the avocado has matured and it can be eaten. The bright green tint of the exotic fruit also indicates its ripeness.
The matured avocado has an amazing smell and taste. And the immature fruit is unsuitable for food. Someone eats avocado with a peel, but for someone it is tasteless.
Avocado pulp can be separated from the skin with a spoon
Clean or not avocado - you decide for yourself. The peel of the fetus will not affect its taste. However, if you decide to cook rolls or salad, then avocado needs to be cleaned from the peel.

Each half of the avocado is cut in two. After that, the peel is removed, and the exotic fruit is cut with plates or strips.
The second method of cleaning avocado (for slicing on a salad)
The avocado is cut into cubes that are added to salads. We repeat the same actions as in the first method of cleaning before extracting a bone from two halves.
We take one half of the fruit (with a peel), turn the pulp up and with a knife make cuts inside the fetus in the form of a grid.
Now we take a teaspoon and each segment of the pulp is carefully separated from the skin. The resulting cubes can be cut into two or four parts and used as an ingredient in salad or sauce.

Turn the fruit, holding the knife on the surface of the bone. We should get two equal in the size of the half of the fruit.
Holding the two halves of the cut fruit, we remove the upper part with the bone, helping yourself with a knife.

After extracting the bone, water the halves of the fruit with lemon juice to preserve the natural color. Lemon juice will help to avoid darkening of the fruit. Cut the avocado with slices or strips.
