How to eat an Avocado: Nutrition Benefits, Tips & Preparation

On this episode of Healthytarian Living, holistic teacher Evita Ochel (www.evitaochel...) shares how to eat an avocado. The video includes a demo of its preparation, sharing about the fruit's nutritional benefits, buying tips, storing, meal ideas and more.
*NOTE: Take extra care and be mindful when using your kitchen knives to cut avocados or remove pits. The degree of sharpness, the pressure you use, and type of knife you use will all make a big difference to the outcome, and YOUR safety is YOUR responsibility.*

About the Avocado Pit: Information about the avocado pit is NOT included in the video because this video is intended for everyday eating for the general audience and the avocado pit is NOT a common or easy part of the avocado to eat, nor is it necessary or proven safe in certain quantities. The pit requires an intensive preparation process in order to make it possible to eat without hurting one's teeth or choking, and it requires tools, like a high-powered blender or dehydrator, that many people will not have, making it impractical to consider or recommend to most people. Even though the pit is edible, and just like any other "plant seed" it does contain nutrients and health benefits, it is medicinal in its chemical composition and its safety and dosage have NOT yet been established. This means that it should be treated more as a medicine, than a food, and used with conservative wisdom after thoroughly learning about its properties, risks, and how they may influence one's health. Consider the apple seed or apricot kernel seed, as other such similar examples. These contain compounds that can be medicinal or toxic, depending on how they are used. According to the California Avocado Commission, "The seed of an avocado contains elements that are not intended for human consumption." www.california...

For a bachelor who stumbles about,making his own meals and trying to eat healthy this is great information. I'd never thought about peeling the skin off - always just stuck a spoon in and scooped it out, ignoring the darker green area near the skin.and throwing it out, Beautifully presented - clear and concise . Very impressed!

[@Healthytarian]

Your kind and meaningful feedback are greatly appreciated, thank you!

[@jimwing.2178]

I scoop with a spoon, too. I have no problem getting the meat near the skin. In fact, when I scoop, I leave less fruit on the skin than Ms. Ochel leaves using her messy extra steps of peeling. If I want slices, I scoop out the entire avocado half - no need to quarter - there is virtually no fruit left on the shell.

[@aurelianudas9583]

[@clairetrinkle3034]

I always scoop off the inside of the peels…..I, too, learned that the best part was up against the skin….I also eat one avocado a day…they are juuuust the best‼️

In eur0pe we have avocados that allways remain green also when getting softer and softer

[@janedoe327]

I eat an avocado salad for lunch 2 to 3 times a week. It is just one avocado cubed, along with some cubed tomatos and 1 tbsp salad dressing. I sometimes add sprouts, a tbsp of slivered almond, sunflower kernels , kalamata olives or capers. Yummy.

[@Healthytarian]

Nice to hear your great combo! Thanks for sharing.

[@famousvoiceimitator]

I like avocados by themselves with a little salt. And 3 times now I've had 2 of them for lunch at work. And they really are helping me lose weight too. But it's great to know just how unique they are when it comes to the many health benefits they have. And they're a lot better for us than they seem according to their appearance.

Never had one until today, 12/3/2023. I’m far from proud and I shopped at Aldi big green bin and found a case avocado 🥑(approximately 50). Cut, peeled, salted and ate them and omg… so very tasty. Saving the seed to hopefully grow. I thank God/Jesus for leading me there and providing me food.

Thanks for all of this. I have been cutting my avocados all wrong all these years. Other KZbinrs have praised avocado as the ideal fruit, and one of them recommended combining with radish. I tried it and found that the mildness of the avocado tamed the bitterness of the radish and made a nice salad. I will be eating both much more often now! Thanks again!

[@Healthytarian]

You are so welcome! Glad to hear you are finding ways to enjoy the avocado that work well for you.

[@pressedearth9492]

I learned from Dr Mercola that they can be kept in the fridge for a few days. It slows down the ripening process. I take one or two out and place them on the counter at a time and let them ripen as this gentle woman suggests in this video. Great presentation BTW. Someone mentioned Gold Standard. I agree.

That is true indeed, if you'd like to delay their ripening process. And thank you so much for the great feedback too :)

I hate to go to the store since is far away. Maybe from now on I'm going to keep them In the refigerator, not in the freezer, In order to avoid any negative side effect of the frozen state.

Fabulous video, recently my endroconologist told me Im prediabetic, & wanted to put me on meds, i asked. If its ok to hold off, until next labs, so I can get real serious with my diet, he said ok. Im startung to eat avocados every day, ive cut back a lot of things that have sugar, and have been eating a lot of plant based foods. Love your tips, TY for your time.

[@Healthytarian]

You are very welcome, and thank you for your comment. You can most definitely reverse the condition of being prediabetic. It is essential to remove as many processed foods as possible, and eat as high of a diet in whole, plant foods, as you can. While including an avocado is a good idea, one food will not change the overall biochemistry of your body. It is essential to get most of the foods that you eat each day to come from the right foods and not the wrong ones. Getting to a healthy weight is also essential to avoid diabetes. Best wishes!

Excellent video! I eat avocado every day.. guac made with lime juice, minced garlic and a fresh chopped chilli needs no salt. Tomato or onion tends to make the guacamole too wet, but it’s really good as a side dish with roasted veg or salad. Store with air excluded from the container and oxidation is minimised, and it freezes well.

She is so right about the health benefits. Little something I do to keep from slipping and cutting myself. If an Avocado is ripe, you can use a plastic knife to cut them, just as evenly as a steele knife. The ripe skin on an Avocado is more fragile than it looks. I eat one everyday and haven't used a steel knife in years.

I don't eat red meat anymore and have moved on to fish and chicken (on occasion). I haven't began exercising yet but i will soon, im lazy i know. I'm at 225 now but i'm dropping fast. I was 240 before this change.

I’d like to add another way of slicing avocados. I live alone and have a small appetite. If I slice around the fruit widthways, I can use a third for my first meal and pop the unused avocado in the fridge. Next day, I slice around widthways again to take off the next third, (leaving the pit in the fruit) to enjoy the following day. This way, I can use large avocados which are better value and make them last for three portions. Great instructional video - thanks so much.

Please know that even if you are cooking or prepping meals for one, namely yourself, it is truly worth it to eat in a healthy manner to take good care of yourself. I have worked with many adults who were widowers or single in the past who felt it wasn't worth the effort to learn how to cook and learn how to take care of their health using their food, but it so is!!!

[@Healthytarian]

Thank you for sharing Rosann. The problem is that it may taste great, but it would not be advised from a health perspective. Both sugar and milk are very problematic foods for our health. If we are going to make an effort and eat healthy foods, like avocados, it is best to eat them with other healthy foods.

Rosann, what we eat is not just about the effect it has on our weight, it is not just about calories or fat, BUT how these foods affect your organs, tissues, and cells, both in the present and for your future health. Both sugar and milk cause inflammation and acidity in the body that increase the risks of diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and cancer long term.

[@Healthytarian]

Glad you enjoy it! Thank you so much :)

[@johnanderson3700]

Thank you-helpful. Also, since the pit is full of nutrition-with a Vitamix you can have it in a blender: avocado, almond milk, banana plus other fruit-makes a wonderful smoothy. You can store in mason jars that can be vacuumed with the meal saver attachment. Try the seed in a smoothy if you have a good enough blender-but be careful a Ninja won’t hold up.

Thank you so much for sharing John. Appreciate your feedback and further tips for others. For more info about the avocado seed (pros/cons) I recommend this general, summary article: draxe.com/avocado-seed/

I never ate avocado 🥑 until covid 19, & watching this I’m eating mine today properly thanks !!

[@Healthytarian]

You are very welcome. Hope you include many other whole plant foods, not just avocado, as the best health protection comes from our overall diet, not just one food.

[@drgregory9236]

As an ex educated chef, I must say you have presented a very fine video here. Good information with a simple and complete presentation. You covered all of the points I would have. I have subscribed. My only feedback is about your comment of making guacamole in a blender. For me, I never do that. Maybe I'm a purist, but I only make my guacamole by hand, as it is easier to control the texture you desire (rough to smooth), taste test for the right flavour, and using a blender promotes the guac turning brown quicker if not eaten right away even if you cover it to seal out air and prevent oxygenation.(but who can hold off eating fresh guacamole? ;)

[@Healthytarian]

Really appreciate your comments and feedback Dr Gregory. Thank you so much! And I very much agree with you about the guacamole. I have tried making it fully by hand, half by hand with half by blender mix, and fully by blender, and modify based on use needs or preference of the day. I share and show most of that in my guacamole video here (kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHbTl3x3hqp8jZo).

[@laylow8648]

Thank You for producing a video that is easy to follow along and learn. No fake computer generated voice and not rushed. Your video was easy to understand. Actually, with zero experience with cutting open an Avocado I found out I was doing everything right, but now I’m certain of that. I just got lucky I guess. I just attacked a Avocado the same way I cut open an Orange or an Apple. However I was completely and totally unaware of the health benefits of consuming Avocado’s daily. Yesterday I had 2 Hard Boiled Eggs, 1/2 an Avocado sprinkled with ground Flax Seeds. It held me all day until 5:00 pm and we made a homemade Taco Salad with 1/4 of an Avocado. I just woke up at 5:00 am and I’m not immediately hungry. Hopefully I can shed 5 lbs by Thanksgiving. I’m looking so forward to the health benefits of eating Avocado daily. God Bless You.

[@Healthytarian]

Thank you so much for your valuable and heart-warming feedback about the video. I am so happy to hear you enjoyed it and I wish you all the best for your health journey and personal wellbeing :)

[@AustrianEdith]

Everything about the avocado in 1 presentation. Wonderful! Thank you so much. It's going to be the basic ingredient of all my fresh salads.

[@Healthytarian]

You are super welcome :) And thank you for your positive comment!

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

@@Healthytarian Loved your video, but I was disappointed you didn't mention anything about the pros and/or cons of eating the skin. I've read that its loaded with nutrients, even more so than the pulp itself. Any thoughts on this?

[@maggiebrooks2550]

What an excellent video! So very full of information, that I found to be communicated so well.

Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much for your nice feedback, Maggie.

I didn't know squat about avacodos, nor of the nutritional value. After gleaning all that knowledge from you, I've quickly became familiar by enjoying an avacodo each morning, It agrees so well becoming the first thing into my empty stomach. Thankyou, You did me well 💖

Lovely to hear, thank you :)

Make sure that you don't fall for a woman that already loves avocados....you'll always play second fiddle to a fruit - or is it a veg?
