How do you peel an avocado? Do you slice it down the middle, dig out the pit, drag the knife through the buttery meat in a criss-cross fashion and spoon out the cubed contents?

This is the extent of my avocado peeling abilities and it’s the only tactic I have ever known.

But apparently, this is oh so very wrong.

The American Chemical Society explains the correct way to peel an avocado to get the maximum health benefits, and I’ll tell you one thing – it does not involve a spoon!

I can’t believe how much easier this method is!

So next time you’re about to whip up some zesty guacamole, keep this avocado peeling approach in mind, and you’ll have a nice big bowl of that mushy green goodness in no time!
