Avocados are nutrient-packed fruits celebrated for their creamy texture and rich supply of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, fiber, potassium, and vitamins C, E, and K. They can support heart health, improve digestion, and provide lasting energy, making them a favorite in many healthy eating patterns. But slicing an avocado isn’t always easy—its slippery flesh and large pit can make it tricky and even risky if not done correctly.

That’s why using the proper technique is so important for both safety and presentation.
