- 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...

You are so kind! Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback and supportive gesture. With gratitude and appreciation, Evita.
Healthytarian 😍
Manideep You are right ! I find her good too ! The speech and the voice is significant !
Yes the tone of her voice is very appealing and made me want to listen! Great info and channel🙂
There may be some who grumble that all this advice was too detailed. Not me. And I discerned in our 'Tutor', a real concern for the welfare of her viewers. Well done 👍 Frank
Thank you so much for your kind comment and meaningful feedback, Frank.
The grumblers could have chosen to leave the video at any point. To me, the reason for watching it was to learn.
I need to find me a woman that loves me as much as this lady loves avocados.
All the best :)
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?
I agree
If you're not happy by yourself you won't be happy with a woman
Good one.😂
As a professor in food science, I must admit I have thorough enjoyed this presentation. I watched it over and over and enjoyed the practicality of of it. Good work
That is really great to hear, thank you!
You meant to use the word "thoroughly."
@@gullybop1695 Is that all you have to say??
Yes, great information and overall presentation 💯
Madam you are so simple and elegant .you speak so clear n your video s awesome 5stars.....:)
ina harmony Thank you very much for sharing your feedback :)
What a thorough and lovely presentation! The 'goodness' of the presenter shines through it. It's hard to miss. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it, and my sincere pleasure! Thank you for sharing your lovely feedback.
If you buy a bag full of avocados you can expect to find at least one rotten avocado, out of six, and probably more than one. It is their way of selling their garbage.
I am sorry to hear about your experience Bud. This hasn't been the case where I live and how I get my avocados. The most important thing is to make sure that all of the avocados in the bag are fully firm when buying them, this way you can prevent getting moldy or decaying ones.
This lady knows what she's talking about.
Thank you for your kind feedback.
Very well presented.
Too much talking...
This video sets the gold standard for instructional videos. You did an amazing job!
N. Miller That is a stellar comment and compliment. Thank you!
N. Miller
I love a avacads ther good
Please USE your cutting board. You might be surprised to learn that in the field of emergency medicine there is a term called "avocado hand" because this injury is so common. It's very easy to accidentally slice tendons, etc and thus even need extensive surgery and rehabilitation from avocado cutting injuries. Be safe. Use a sharp knife AND a cutting board.
Thank you for expressing your care and concern.
The fat in Avocados are good for you.
I have a health problem, & my doctortold me, to eat often, souther fruits ; AVOCAD, banana, pina / pine apple, kiwi . . . Thank you for giving me new tips, what I still didn't know, yet I knew most everything of the Avocado. I like your short yet detailed informative expanations. In my early days, I was told to call such people as you are; very worthy / worthwile to listen people!
Thank you for your nice feedback and comment, Alfred.
One of the best videos on food, I could live on avocados, I LOVE them!
Thank you so much for that great feedback!
I am new to Avacado recipes & found this video very very useful. One video giving me all the information required. Right from 'how to buy' to its nutrition values. Wonderful!!
I really appreciate this help, thanks Evita :)
+maheshjajada You are so very welcome :) Thank you kindly for sharing your comment and feedback!
What a beautiful person and professional demonstration. Peace and love. ❤
Thank you for your super kind comment. It means so much and is so greatly appreciated :)
Never eat avocado before, but now I will !
Great presentation ...
Greetings from Croatia
Awesome to hear :) Thank you for watching and sharing your feedback!
vin cy cy vincy
In Croatia, avocados must be expensive.
Is not Croatia for AVOCADO LOVERS?
SURELY IT IS, IF THEY BRING FRUITS WITH THEM.
I should have watched this video before serving avocados for the first time... :D
Hey.i never thought I'm gonna listen to you till end. Well, I did ! I enjoyed your video. You don't need me thank you. You already earn it . Love you like my kid sister. Bye
Thank you for you feedback. That is a really sweet and kind comment :)
Boy this is a good vid, but dang that knife must be dull as heck...
Thank you so much for watching and sharing your feedback. As for the knife, yes it is not a sharp knife that I use for most of my kitchen prep.
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 often eat this directly, and sometimes make juice of it. Taste good and very healthy..
Thank you for sharing!
Avacado juice?! Interesting.
Well, it is healthy also..
@@NiKitaDailyFemaleThings i bet it is!! I love avacados!! Enjoy!! Blessings and Namaste family
His is not a right time to comment and hurt the people,,,,,,,,
There is a thin line between a perfectly ripe avocado and a terrible rotten one.
That is, indeed, often the case for many people when it comes to avocados. Thanks for sharing your comment, Lam.
I just happened to see you holding avocados and so I wanted to know the nutritional part. I really enjoyed how you showed how to cut it. I never cut it that pretty before so I thank you. I had to subscribe right away.👍 Also your tone is very calming.😊
Thank you very much for sharing your nice feedback with me. Glad to hear you enjoyed the video and my teaching style :)
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.
Nice to hear your great combo! Thanks for sharing.
SPEAKS English very well : diction+++, voice +++, tonal quality ++ space and presentation ++++ > content ++++++ very much scientific
Thank you very much for your super nice feedback and comment!
Mash avocado and garlic. mix them together, salt peper....yummy:) i eat it with fish is lovely! or just on toast!
& Turmeric with black pepper!
The best video to know all about how to identify, maintain, peel and use in the kitchen. Awesome clarity and attention to details. Highly recommended. Thank you very much 🙏
Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
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.
Great to hear and thanks for watching!
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.
My experience eating Avocado
1st time: Yuck.. this is hard to swallow i hate this!
2nd time: I guess its ok.. but dunno the big deal about it..
3rd time: Yummy it's so good..
Now I'm addicted to it.
Thomas Schmidt Great to hear it worked out :)
Thomas Schmidt Ha, exactly the same as me!
Thomas Schmidt that's what she said
Thomas Schmidt I didn't like them as a kid. I thought it was a strange fruit. Now I love them. There's nothing quite like avocados..
Yeah. My first avocado was also pretty awful. Now I'm fine with them.
Fascinating, great video, you certainly know what you're talking aboot.
Thank you kindly for your nice feedback.
I love avacados. I make a spread out of it and use it instead of mayo. I was just told that I'm pre diabetic. I have herad how good the avacado is for diabetics. I add it to my stuffed eggs. Thank you for all the information on this wonderful velvety fruit.
You are very welcome.
I eat one medium sized avocado for breakfast with some natural yogurt and a banana. I have completely given up greasy fast food and diet drinks and sodas. I don't eat any processed sugar. All the sugar that i get is from fruits and vegetables. I have lost 15 pounds in the past 1,5 months just because of this simple change in my diet. 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.
Excellent to hear and congratulations on your positive dietary and weight changes! If you would like even more weight and health benefits, I recommend considering the total removal of the dairy, as it is one of the greatest saboteurs of optimal health and weight. Best wishes for your continued health success!
MaiHead you should give up chicken. Its bad
Chae Chae y trippin
You should eat red meat once you start working out
MaiHead great to hear! How are you doing now?
Love avocado with a bit of lemon juice and cracked pepper. Goes great as a small side, topper for toast or salad, a snack, etc.
Nice healthy additions. Thank you for sharing your comment :)
I regularly eat avocados.... I find them a bit bland in taste so I add salt, black pepper, lemon juice and finely chopped onions and they become soooo yummy....!!!
Thanks for sharing your preferred method! And yes, those are all great additions as avocados are best eaten with other foods, especially savory, salty, or sour flavored ingredients and not on their own.
I saw this in 2019 and it is really informative. I've wasted so much money on avocado because they were hard to eat. Thanks for this video, you just gained a subscriber.
My pleasure, and thank you for your nice comment Aduke.
Great video, thank you for sharing!
My pleasure and thank you for your comment and feedback!
Cutting it against your hand is not recomended unless you want some meat with your avocado...
Yes, thank you for your caring comment.
I have never watched somebody demonstrating and providing knowledge so clearly. I never subscribe, but, this time did straightway.
Thank you for taking the time to share your beautiful feedback, Harjinder. It means a lot!
Great video! Always nice to watch someone who knows what there talking about! Great talking speed, amount of information, and length! A+ Keep making videos! :)
+Ryan Roemer Thank you so much for watching and for sharing your feedback, which is so valuable and so greatly appreciated.
Your presentation is as smooth as the avocado, thanks a lot.
Great to hear you enjoyed it, and thank you so much for your feedback :)

Great video- lately I’ve been eating my avocados on Ezekiel toasted bread for breakfast I just mash it with some garlic a dash of pink salt & lemon juice voila!! 😝
Excellent combination! Thanks for sharing it and your nice feedback.
very nice and very beautiful tnx for sharing!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great tutorial and explanation. I like avocados plain with freshly minced raw garlic and a little salt. Oh my gosh, it’s the best !
Thank you so much, that is a great way to enjoy them :)
LOVE AVOCADO FOREVER! together with Bananas and apples fan 4ever!!!
😊so informative and enjoyable!good to hear all the health benefits again!....and so delicious!waiting to see your recipe for guacamole.
Thank you very much for your comment and feedback. Glad to hear you enjoyed it.
Most useful video on avocados !! Much appreciated !
Sebastian Manard Thank you so much for your comment :) I greatly appreciate your feedback!
Sebastian Manard Too bad, it's pretty useless, now gmos is here.
Eat bio :P
thank you :)
i actually did not know how to pick the right avocados.
My pleasure. Thanks for watching!
Soniya Kiti you want soft but not to soft, if your not gonna eat it right away get a stiff one and wait a day or two. Hope that helps:)
Nop, that's not how you pick them I got the formula
@@markorocka1422 so what is it then?
@@Healthytarian good
Wonderful video!it actually answered all my questions - how much to eat per day, how to pick them, ideas for my menu and how to keep the extra amount. Thanks a lot!
Awesome to hear! Thanks so much for sharing your feedback with me :)
love this video, thanks for posting
I like the way you explain Avocado also thanking you.
Well done girl
she talks so beautifully. i loved watching the video.
How nice to hear, thank you so much!
This was so helpful! Everything I needed to know, thank you so much x
Rocky Applebee really this was helpful
Great presentation on the avocado.Iam not a. Real fan of the avocado but with all the health benefits .I think I might be.
Thank you so much for your nice comment and feedback!
Smart video. Thank you. Some may be scared to cut in their hands. Past nightmares from accidents. Please show on the cutting board
My pleasure Christine, and thanks for the tips about the cutting.
Nice video. I love avocados and have always been fascinated by the fact that the taste is very hard to "describe" in words. Creamy, green, nutty, etc.
They are super good. They taste like brocoli when the brocoli is boiled until its real soft. Its softer than brocoli. I love brocoli and now i love avocados
I literally can't believe you cut right onto your hand. Please never do that with a sharp knife for your own sake.
Thank you for your kind concern. My knife is actually not sharp, and something I share in other lessons is that every "chef" must know and be conscious of their tools and methods. Hence what may be right for me, obviously may not be right for someone else, and vice-versa.
@@Healthytarian I could see in that video that you were using a dull knife. Dull knives are even more dangerous than sharp knives. So sharp knives are safer AND easier to work with. If somebody needs to watch a video about taking the fruit out of an avocado, then that person probably does not have good knife skills. IMO - It is irresponsible for an instructor to be using dangerous cutting techniques with a dull knife.
0:10 Put it in your mouth and swallow. Saved you 17 minutes.
Thank you! This was the best video I've seen yet on how to process Avocados!
You are super welcome, and thank you for your great feedback!
Your personality and skills are out of this world..!
Your kind feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
@@Healthytarian
It's all your merit👍
❣
Rich in fiber, vitamins B, C, E and K, also potassium, it also has some Omega-3 (ALA) eat raw, try to get the darker part of the flesh that's stick to the skin, also the seed has a lot of nutrients but needs to be dried and then grinded into powder, mixed with other food to be easily edible
Thanks for summarizing those benefits!
Thank you for this video! As someone who grew up poor with parents who never heard of good nutrition, I was clueless as far as how to eat this fruit. I will certainly be using them after seeing this.
Thank you for sharing your comment, Melanie.
Excellent information and presentation! You held my attention the entire time with all of the great information you provided. Very thorough! I learned a great deal from your vid. Buying some avocados tomorrow. Many thanks... 👍
What a pleasure to receive your great feedback! Thank you for sharing your kind comment, which means so much. With gratitude, Evita.
Thank You 😊 for the awesome tips. I love avocado 🥑.
You are so welcome! And thank you for your nice comment.
Very informative, I must say. I started working with avocados recently and in this video I found answers to many mistakes that I did. Thumbs up for you.
Thank you Anil! Great to hear you enjoyed and to many more wonderful experiences with your avocados :)
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!
Your kind and meaningful feedback are greatly appreciated, thank you!
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.
pp
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
Very well presented. Especially for people like me from the Asian countries where Avocados are just getting to be known. Right from how to select, cut, cook...excellent. Plus the calm way of presenting with no unnecessary music and din. Keep posting more!
Thank you for your meaningful feedback. It is very much appreciated :)
❤❤u r superb. I like your lesson v. Much.❤❤
Thank you so much for your supportive feedback!
Thanks for all the healthy info you share with us. You have a soothing voice and you are easy to follow.
You are very welcome and thank you for your lovely feedback, Beverley.
This excellent presentation is explained perfectly. I definitely will subscribe.
That is really lovely of you to share, Lauren. Thank you!
U are amazing madam , such a great explanation and wd so much grace.
Thank you for your kind comment. Blessings to you for best health!
Very well done and informative presentation. Evita, however, is pretty scary with her knife handling!!!
Thank you so much for your feedback Paul. And I understand it may not look ideal, however as I share in the video, care and caution must be exercised by each person during the cutting of such foods, but really any foods. I know my knife, which in this case was very dull, and aside from the pointy tip, quite harmless to me. Mindfulness in the kitchen is of utmost importance for sure.
Healthytarian Thank you for your reply to my message. I do understand what you mean about your knife not being that sharp and your care in using it. Thanks to you, in part, I have been eating an avocado each day now. I appreciate all of your tips especially picking and knowing when ripe. I have used my paring knife the same way as you when preparing the avocado. I can now sense the proper ‘ripeness’, the dark green close to the skin and just having to scoop out the contents with a spoon. Thank you so much for the avocado education!!!
Oh that is so wonderful to hear Paul! Thanks for taking the time to share all this with me :)
I hve always love eating avocado since childhood as i grow up i turn to butter...but now am back to avocado...great video ....love it....💛💛
Thank you for sharing your comment and nice feedback Mona.
Its a good thing i love avocados!! Thanks for all the wonderful information on these delicious little guys. 🥑 if anyone has never tried these...plz do!! I didnt think i would like them. One day i decided to try a little guacamole..just to see what it was like. I fell in ❤😍😍 then started buying the avocados for salad. Shes right too, they give your salad a wonderful taste. Soooo yummy!! :)
That is fantastic to hear Jessica! And thank you for your kind feedback :)
Here in the Philippines, we consider avocados as snacks or something to be eaten after a meal. We also usually make avocados into ice cream.
Thank you for sharing your comment.
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 :)
Love avocados ! They are amazing in a green smoothie, and I make a simple guac sprinkled with hemp seeds, and chopped grape tomatoes. Sooo good !
Great to hear you are incorporating it in healthy ways into your diet.
dont eat
Avocado is the most underated fruit yet it is so nutritious, that you can probably live off it if you wanted to. It is simply the godfather of fruits. I would have an avacado over a burger any day despite its taste.
Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm for this wonderful fruit!
Pronunciation of words are insane!!! Great video
Awesome to hear - thanks for your feedback :)
my exact thoughts!!!!
Yes, for the half you want to save until tomorrow, you can also sprinkle on citric acid or ascorbic acid (vitamin C) (also called fruit fresh) available in the canning section of your grocery store. Also works for fresh peaches and for apples to keep them from turning brown. These are the active ingredients in lemon juice and lime juice.
Thanks for sharing your tips.
Excellent note thank U 4 sharing your tip!
You're AWESOME! 🥑
Thank you for your positive feedback!
you gave a nice public lecture regarding the very beneficiary food item
Thank you, Girma, for your valuable feedback.
I started eating avocado when i started weightlifting again. Its a great source of healthy fats and other nutrients :D At first i thought it was tasteless and weird, but after eating a few after a few days i started to recognize some flavour and I love it now ^^
Awesome to hear! Thanks so much for sharing.
I lost 85lb in about 15 months or so. by intermeating fasting and eating avocados every day and walking!
Congratulations! Always great to hear positive health stories.
Thank you!
Thank YOU! You are a real highly educated, pleasant, articulate provider of good and healthy food. Stay Safe Nd keep spreading your wisdom!
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. Your kind gesture to share this with me is greatly appreciated :)
thanks dear, love you!
It's good fat and we need them for energy :p
Yes indeed! Thanks for watching.
Thank you for this well-thought out, wonderfully thorough presentation of “all things avocado.” While I was familiar with most of the information you shared, it is great to see & hear someone so eloquently singing the praises of my favourite fruit!
What a beautiful surprise to find this comment from you on this video. Thank you so much!
I'm having my first avocado on it's own soon, I've had it at restaurants and I was enchanted by the flavor and I'm excited to have them at home as part of my weight loss plan. cheers for the video, its greatly informative and I'll share it around
Thank you very much for your nice comment :) Best wishes on your health journey!
That was some insight. It's soo soo helpful for beginners like me....
Thank you so much!!! Really appreciate the effort ❤
You are very welcome and thank you for your kind comment.
This is the best presentation I have seen on avocados, so much information, things I never knew, thank you, take care stay safe.
Glad you liked it so much, and thank you, Patricia.
Thank you for this! I am brand new to the Avocado, and I'm not really a fan of it yet. But you've given me great ideas!!

Avocado with squeezes lime juice salt & pepper is so yummy with an egg on top & toasted whole grain bread!
Thanks for sharing your preference, Patti.
this video is presented quite well. healthy foods presented this way is very attractive. imo
+appollion32 Thank you so much for your feedback. It means a lot!
+Spidey 2002 Absolutely! Thanks for your comment.
This video was very useful. I never ate an avocado before except as guacamole. With my first purchased fruit I was motivated to peel it with a potato peeler, but your demonstration of peeling was so much more sensible. Also. your talk about the ripening process was essential. Evita, are you from Argentina? Are you in Canada?
Glad to hear you enjoyed the video, and thank you for the nice feedback. And no, I am not from Argentina, but yes, Canada has been a home place. Best wishes with your health and wellbeing!
One of the best videos out there explaining the benefits of Avocado.
Thank you so much, Luis.
Thank you so much for your Awesome presentation on Avocados. I just started eating them about a year ago. Love love them😊❤️ I have learned so much about avocados again this was a great presentation ❣️ God Bless you 💖
You are so welcome, Pam! Best wishes and blessings to you for your best health :)
