'I was today years old when I learned the easiest way to slice an avocado'
A woman has shared a clever way to slice an avocado, and you don't have to try and remove the seed first.
In a video shared on TikTok @surfsamie90 we see a woman slice the top and bottom off the avocado before cutting it in half around the seed.
Next, she peels the skin using her fingers.
With the delicious avocado flesh fully exposed, you are then free to slice it, dice it or mash it however you see fit.

At one stage in the video we see little fingers point out to the woman that she has forgotten to remove the sticker from the avocado but seeing as she is peeling it anyway, there's no need to do that.
Although we're sure that little person's help was appreciated.

It isn't clear if this is the woman's own avocado hack as she has reposted it from SnapChat.
This is the latest in a long line of avocado hacks shared on social media including a recent one that showed an ingenious way to remove the seed. Our very own Belinda Russell tried this one out and it worked perfectly, with her sharing the results on TikTok.

She captioned the video: "Holy guacamole!! Saw this hack a few months ago and I finally got to "avo-go" to see if it works. 🥑🤯" she captioned the video."
"I saw this on TikTok about a month ago, and I haven't tried it out yet, so let's give this a go."
Belinda explained that instead of using a knife to remove an avocado seed, which can risk "losing a finger or thumb or multiple," you have to put your index finger and middle finger in a V-like shape under the seed while cupping the back of the avocado with your thumb, and apply a bit of pressure — or "pop" it out."
Once your avocado is prepared, in whichever way you prefer, it can be kept fresh for longer using this TikTok hack which advisers foodies to place them in containers filled with water which can then be placed in the fridge.
