Cut an Avocado

Video Transcript

"Hello everyone! My name is Matt Fuller and this Denise Bennett, my partner. We are the proud facilitators of the Light and Love Cafe. We are here on behalf of the Expert Village. I'm going to go ahead and slide this over. We're going to go ahead and add some fresh avocado. I'm going to cut this open. If you're not familiar, I like to cut avocados the long way. Then you actually just twist and pull apart, and this is the inside of an avocado if you're not familiar. Thank you very much Denise. What I like to do is come in here and you basically just take the spoon and put it right between the meat and the skin. You just kind of scoop it out and pop it on the table. Then with the other part, you take the knife, hit the core, you twist, and it comes right out. I get rid of this. It's nice and fun to toss the vegetables around. Actually, avocado is a fruit. Most people do think it is a vegetable. Anything with a pit inside it is considered a fruit. For many, many years I did think that avocado was actually a vegetable. That goes the same for all those. What else Denise can you think of that you might have normally thought of as a vegetable and it is actually a fruit. I think you just did the best one. Did I take the 2 best ones? Yeah, you did. Anyway, what I'm doing is just taking this and chopping it up so the texture is just right in the soup. Depending on how it looks, I may actually grab one other tool to make it just a little bit more consistent. I'm going to go ahead and scoop this avocado into this young Thai coconut water."
