If you are only going to eat in a couple of days choose a more firm avo and allow to ripen at home at room temperature. Avocados ripen quicker when stored in a paper bag. This happens because ethylene gas released by the mango triggers ripening and accumulates in the bag. If you want to speed up the process, put it in a paper bag with a banana. The banana also releases ethylene so ripening is quicker. ## How to Cut an Avocado Whether you want to cut the avo into cubes or slices, we find it the easiest to first cut the fruit in half and remove the pit (seed). 1. Cut the Avocado in Half The avocado must be cut in half along the length. The easiest way to do this is by holding the avocado in the palm of your hand. To be safe you can hold the avocado in a dish cloth. Cut it lengthwise with a chef’s knife around the seed. Cut through the skin and the flesh until the knife hits the seed, carefully rotate the fruit while keeping the knife steady in the middle of the fruit. ![cut the avocado in half](https://makingsalads.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/cut-avocado-in-half.jpg) Cut the avocado in half along the length. 2\.

Hold the avo in a cloth for safety, carefully hit the pit with the blade of the knife, ‘fixing the pit onto the blade’. Remove the pit from the flesh by lifting it out. Carefully dislodge the pit from the blade with a fork. ![remove the avocado pit with a knife](https://makingsalads.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/cut-avo-remove-seed.jpg) Remove the avocado pit by penetrating with the blade and removing from the flesh. ### Cut Avocado into Cubes 1\.
