Here is the best way, hands down (and hands safe!) to pit an avocado. Oh, sure, we know all the tips and ways that others remove the pit from their avocados, but our way is truly the best way to remove that seed – it’s fast, it’s easy, it’s safe, and it leaves the rest of the avocado intact.

Some people will tell you to split the avocado in half, and then drive a knife into the seed, using the knife to twist the pit out of the avocado. This not only isn’t very safe, but will sometimes lead to the pit splitting, but still embedded in the avocado.

Others will tell you to take it out with a spoon, or to squeeze it out. These methods do work, but they are messy, and often result in sacrificing part of the avocado flesh.

Our method has none of these problems, making it not only neat and easy, but also frustration free.

Here’s how to do it. You will need:
