| Jan 9, 2022 at 17:37 | comment | added | Sam Goldberg | I’ve found that smooth skinned avocados (which also tend to have thinner skin than Hass avocados), are very difficult to separate from the skin. The spoon method tends to not to work, unless I leave a very a lot of fruit by the skin. Is there an easy way to separate the fruit from these thin/smooth skinned avocados? | |

I'm sure that's just the Avocado Commission's lawyers afraid of getting sued by someone who doesn't know how to use a knife. The spoon pit removal method is much trickier and much more frustrating. Do it just like in the video @nate posted. It's super fast and easy. | |
