avocado ive never tasted one

The most important thing is to make sure it is ripe before you try and eat it. You want it to feel soft (almost to the point of squishy) before you cut it up. You will want to cut it in half but beware that there is a large pit in the middle that you will need to cut around. It is easiest to remove the "meat" of the avocado with a spoon once you have it in half. You do not use the skin at all!

I think raw is best but I have had slices on a veggie pizza that was pretty good. I like to make guacomole with it but you can just slice it and spread it on crackers, toast, add to a sandwich, etc. I recommend a little salt to add flavor but that's just me.

My Guacamole recipe: 4 ripe avocados-cut into cubes, add salt, pepper, chili powder, garlic, dash of tabasco, 1/4 tspn lemon juice (to keep it from turning black), you can add salsa or cut up tomatos/onions, mix together and eat with tortilla chips, veggies, or on pretty much any kind of Mexican food.

Hope this helps! Good luck.

I wouldn't keep it in the fridge unless you've cut into it and are saving the second half. But even then, eat the second half th enext day or it starts getting funky colored (cover it in plastic with the plastic touching the meat and keep the pit in the second half if you're going to save it).

Here's a link to a great video from a kind of kooky guy about how to cut it open with some useful nutritional information. But, as I said, he's kinda kooky: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrUXRPgWrW4

Eat it raw, or with salt/pepper/lime juice, or mash it up with some shallots, lime juice, pepper, salt, and tomatoes for a guacamole. You really can't go wrong with avocados!! You'll wonder why it's taken you so long to try one

I mainly use 1/2 an avocado, 1/2 cup cottage cheese and 1/4 cup coconut milk as the base for protein milkshakes - then I just add 3/4 cup worth of fruit and a bit of protein powder. The combination makes the smoothies half creamy, half sweet, which is how I prefer them.
