My question is two-fold for anyone who can answer it: 1) What is that red stuff and 2) Is it still ok to eat an avocado if I find red stuff inside?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-807108710807890984.post-36463877630726955612009-02-11T09:03:00.000-08:002009-02-11T09:03:00.000-08:00I am a veggie hater but I do like avocados.

I just love them! I am however, always shocked to see people smack a knife into the pit while holding the avocado half in there hands. That is sooooo dangerous! Especially if you do this in front of children. My father showed me the best technique when I was young. Just take the tip of your knife and prod the pit from the bogger end of the fruit and pop the pit out! Try this sometime, it's a much safer method!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-807108710807890984.post-38315682942939760262008-09-25T04:07:00.000-07:002008-09-25T04:07:00.000-07:00I followed the link from Lux's blog.
