Halved Fruit

Halved avocado is the fruit split lengthwise around the pit—the classic prep for toast, salads, stuffing, and quick scooping. A sharp knife cuts to the seed, the halves twist apart, and the pit is lifted or carefully knifed out. Season in the shell or scoop the flesh with a spoon in a single piece. Brush cut faces with citrus or cover tightly if holding briefly; they brown and dry at the edges within minutes in open air. Restaurant lines portion halves for brunch and bowl builds; home cooks use them as edible boats for eggs, grains, or vinaigrette. Size varies with fruit grade—one half of a large Hass can be a full snack, while small fruit may need a whole avocado per person.
