To cut a long neck avocado, start by giving it a good wash. This removes any dirt or residue on the skin that may have been picked up during the growing process. Once it’s clean, you can proceed to cut it open.
Hold the avocado firmly on a cutting board and position your knife at the top, where the stem used to be. Apply gentle pressure as you cut through the skin and flesh, moving the knife all the way around the fruit in a circular motion. Be careful not to cut too deep, as you don’t want to hit the seed inside.
Once you’ve made a complete cut around the avocado, you can gently twist the two halves in opposite directions to separate them. One half will have the seed, while the other will be seedless. To remove the seed, carefully tap your knife into it and twist slightly. The seed should come out easily.
Now that you have the two halves and the seed removed, you can enjoy the avocado meat! You can use a spoon to scoop it out directly from the skin or use a knife to make small cuts in a crisscross pattern and then scoop it out.
Long Neck avocados have a unique shape that makes them perfect for garnishing salads. You can slice the avocado into thin, even slices and arrange them beautifully on top of your salad. It adds a touch of elegance and makes for an impressive presentation.
