Viral video: A food vlogger's trick for cutting and peeling avocados thrills the internet

Trending news: Avocados are one of the most nutritious fruits and are used in many dishes, from avocado toast to guacamole, creamy dips and salads. However, peeling and slicing an avocado can be tricky. A food vlogger recently shared a “genius method for peeling and pitting an avocado” that viral on Instagram. This method avoids the usual hitting of the pit with a knife or scooping out the pulp with a spoon.

In the video, the vlogger demonstrates her technique. She starts by slicing the avocado vertically around the pit. Instead of cutting it in half, she makes two additional cuts to divide the fruit into four equal pieces. Then, using her hands, she separates the fruit from the pit. To peel the avocado, she simply removes the skin with her hands. And the avocado is ready to be used in various dishes. The vlogger captioned the video, “How did I just learn that?!”
