Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 січ 2018
- Whether you slice it, dice it, scoop it, smash it or simply cut it in half and eat it with a spoon, there’s no denying avocados are one of the most beloved fruits around the world-we consume more than 4 billion per year in the United States alone. And yes, it’s a fruit. It’s actually a single-seeded berry that grows on a tree and is packed with vitamins, mineral, antioxidants and healthy fats. Here are a few really easy ways to prep them for your next meal.

The most interesting thing I’ve learnt today is that avocado comes from the Aztec word for testicle and I’ve had two university lectures 😂

Andreeww! Hey! Idk I'd be watching you when I looked up this video! What a pleasant surprise!😊🤗💓Miss watching you on tv!... I hope I pick a good avocado one day! 🤦♀️🥑I've been so frustrated lately! Always never ripe so I waste it or don't enjoy it or I get the ones that I guess stay green and idk it doesn't change and I waited days for it to turn black but it didn't and it went bad! 🤦♀️🤦♀️😭I might try one more time. Hope next time is the charm. 🤞

You can't tell when an avocado is good simply by looking at it, you need to feel how firm it is by holding it in your hand and squeezing. If you feel resistance, it's not ripe, if it goes inward a little, it is ripe, if it goes inward a lot, it's too ripe.
@@aidancollins1591 Yes, thanks. I finally learned. I was so proud of myself. Lol. I've been loving my avocado Banana smoothies for some time now🥑🍌😋 lol
@@ADayintheLifeofRia Good to hear!
Thanks!🤩🙌🏾💗👍🏾💯🙏🏾🍓

Thanks, because I was terrible at this.

I'm really trying to acquire a taste for avocado since they're very good for you. I guess I expected it to taste more like a honeydew melon or something.
They're very creamy, and are best eaten when they're ripe and soft. Although they're a fruit, they're usually eaten like a vegetable. You can mash them and use them as a spread for sandwiches/toast, put them in sushi rolls, tacos, salads, even use them in soups. The possibilities are endless. One important tip I would give is add salt (and pepper or other seasonings if you like). So many people don't season their avocado, but it makes a huge difference.
@@brandon3872 Ooh, I love avocado, but oddly enough never tried salt on them.
I do crushed black pepper and chilli flakes, but not tried salt for some strange reason. Next avocado is getting the salt treatment 🤣. Cheers
@@brandon3872I put salt and lemon juice
Better use to cut the avocado 🥑 over the chop board when you divide. It may slipped, i have experienced an accident to cut that.
Your glasses have been precisely diced from your eyes.

You’re obviously very well practiced at this but this is one of the most dangerous ways to cut an avocado. And in a world where avocado hand became an epidemic, really a bad idea to be teaching people to cut like this. Literally so many things can go wrong. I cut myself cutting an avocado over 2 years ago. And when I went to the ER, the people who helped me told me that avocado hand was the most common injury. They’d get 4-5 people a DAY come in from cutting their hands while cutting an avocado! Not even kidding. Also as a side note, I still have nerve damage in that hand though I’ve regained full mobility (thank God).
Point being: Do not cut an avocado this way EVER. Unless you don’t care and don’t mind risking major injury. But still don’t.
wish you would have shown how you peeled it instead of just jumping to the already sclied avocado...
what is the point of slamming a knife into the seed and twisting instead of just squeezing it or dumping it out? is it dangerous that way?
OK listen up people; do you know how many people front up at emergency with a sliced open hand? We are talking tens of thousands nationally and only guess the hundreds of thousands globally. DO NOT HOLD IT IN YOUR HAND LIKE THIS GUY; PUT IT ON THE CUTTING BOARD AND HOLD IT WITH ONE HAND AND SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY CUT IT AROUND THE PIP. Then enjoy your avocado instead of sitting in the emergency room with your hand wrapped up in a towel.
And don't even think of doing that chop thing on the pip while your holding it like he was.
HOW DO YOU PEEL AN AVOCADO WITH 1 HAND??
I love you

“Avocado gets the name from the Aztec word testicle” - TMI…
Nope it’s a real thing
i’m sorry i couldn’t focus on the video, AVOCADO MEANS TESTICLE WHAT
"testículo de árbol".
I thought Andrew will teach us how to select and when to use avocado.😞
The title is literally "how to cut" one. You have strange expectations that you manifest out of nothing. Do you do that for more important things too? Would lead to a lot of disappointment.
0:01 Rip to all confused Linux/Ubuntu users
This is the perfect binge drinking video! Just take a swig every time he says "avocado", and you'll be quite inebriated after watching this!

Spanish translation please, I did not understand anything
ha dicho, cuidase con su aguacate, tomas una cuchara y saca suavemente. Y toda otros, sabes. Porque hablas español y no puedo imaginar un país donde que son hablar Español pero no saben hacer una aguacate 🥑
Why wouldn't you just look up a Spanish video instead?
Bro you didn't even show how you got the whole Avocado out of the skin to slice it?
Jaja jajaja no mamen!
A-A-A-A-A-A-AND he chickens-out by not showing how he, and not a production assistant after twelve tries, successfully peeled the avocado for this: 1:29
You're mentally stunted, eh? He literally showed you earlier in the video. He didn't peel it. He takes the entire piece out of the peel with a spoon. Honestly, Adam, this is some basic level shit. All you had to do was watch the video. It's less than three minutes. How did you fail that? You really couldn't piece this together? Fucking astonishing, mate.
@@DrawbackDrawback No, this is only MADE to look like some basic-level shit. I used to be both an actor in commercials and a production assistant that created the illusions people believed on commercials, and I can see EXACTLY what Zimmerman did and how he did it.
What YOU refer to as him taking the entire piece out of the peel with a spoon is NOTHING of the sort. As I originally said, that is the result of some very tedious work by production assistant(s) to produce the ILLUSION that he is removing it all in one piece using a spoon.
This was done by the production assistant carefully peeling the skin off MULTIPLE de-seeded avocado halves and then floating the flesh in cold water to prevent enzymatic browning.
Meanwhile a second PA prepares avocado skin halves that were from OTHER avocados that were conventionally scooped out using multiple passes with a spoon. The interiors of these props are carefully scraped out so that NO avocado flesh remains.
Now it's showtime... One PA carefully lifts a picture-perfect half from the cold water and gently touches paper towels to the surfaces to blot away the water, then he carefully slips it into one of the other PA's carefully-prepared avocado skins.
This assembly is then carefully handed to Zimmerman, whom YOU NEVER SEE PERFORM THE SEPARATION! Notice how he already has the ENTIRE avocado flesh separated from the ENTIRE avocado skin AT THE BEGINNING of his "maneuver"? It just sort of rises effortlessly from the avocado skin? This, my accusatory friend, is stagecraft at its finest.
In fact, try to perform this magical one-piece separation yourself. You will NOT be able to do it, ever, because it simply cannot be done in any practical sense, like a reasonably-fast kitchen maneuver.
The ONLY way to reliably produce naked, intact avocado flesh is to cut and seed a half, then nip the skin at each end, and then carefully peel off the skin while the cut surface lays flat on the cutting board, and even then one must not rush or you get Instant Guacamole.
Feel smarter now?
@@adamchurvis1 Dude, you do see him do it. What is wrong with you? Earlier in the video he takes the spoon and takes the avocado out of the peel.
Do I feel smarter now? Yes. My opinion of you has only gone lower. I take the avocado out of the peel the same way he did. It can be done. I literally do it. You're a moron on so many levels. Please don't have children.
The gringos always cut their hands when trying to cut avocados.
the aztec word for WHAT?
"cómo cortar tu culo"
😬I failed
Realy the merican people need to search videos of how to cut avocados a kid whit 4 years in mexico can cut an avocato whit out cut their hands
Why did you look up this video if you don't need this information? And why are you comparing an American to someone who's had four years of experience in Mexico? Are you overwhelmingly stupid?
It's like if I bitched about people not understanding how much Vegemite they're supposed to use. It's something I've known since I was a kid. Would be unfair to expect a non-Australian to understand this. It's the exact reason so many non-Australians use way too much.
Lack of experience. Unfortunately, critical thinking is a skill you should've picked up no matter where you are from. Shame you didn't.
What has this to do with nationality? You can find videos on youtube how to cut onions, how to cut pretty much anything. What would any of that have to do with nationality?
@@plantnewbie5188 It's so obvius to how to cut diferent fruits and vegetables, isn't my problem that you're so stupid.
0:40 Not sure if that is edible done with a disgusting knife.
sit down karen its not even dirty
@@ayaakabbashi just look at it.
@@user-je9co6cr5i okay im not sure if you're talking about the design of the actual knife or the brown stuff on it. but if youre talking about the brown shit, thats from the avocado seed
The Knife is "Damascus Steel" look it up.
lol the things people will complain about.
You should redo your video with a good avocado.
Ohh you tell em Donna Cowell
What’s so bad about the avocado?
Andrew, psst..
Stop this method....if interested...I have a better Mexican way.
Stop trying to get people to have sex with the avocado. No one wants to do what you do with avocados. It's not a better method.
NO! learn from the sushi chef
