To prepare, cut the avocado in half lengthwise, around the pit. Twist the halves to separate them. You can then remove the pit by carefully striking it with the blade of your knife and twisting, or by scooping it out with a spoon. The flesh can be scooped out with a spoon, diced, or mashed depending on your recipe. They are best enjoyed fresh, as their color can change when exposed to air for too long.

How to keep the rest
To store unripe avocados, keep them at room temperature until they yield to gentle pressure. Once ripe, they can be refrigerated for a few days to slow down the ripening process. If you have cut an avocado, cover the exposed flesh tightly with plastic wrap or store it with the pit still in place to minimize browning.
