I sliced an avocado and the knife went in quite deep, I thought it must have a really small pit. Once I seperated both halves, I realized the knife went straight through the pit like a hot knife through butter (or should I say like a cold knife through watermelon lol).

I know I've been working out a lot but I really don't think that's it, they pits are normally rock hard. Why did it have such a soft pit?

I've had that happen to me sometimes. The avocados were always fine.

Be careful with your own strength though, as I had a friend put a knife right through one avocado and into her other palm!

So I guess I should stop holding them in my hand. R.E. I think you are just "TOO" Strong........

There's been times when I've sliced one and the pit just cracked and split when I pulled the avo apart. Avo always tasted fine. I never really thought too much about it.

But a good reminder to be more careful.

Maybe it was close to sprouting?? Seeds and pits get quite soft when they're activated and are easy to "split."

When an avocado pit is about to sprout, it splits. You probably put your knife in right along the split crack.

Yes, I've learnt to manage my strenght since I workout. I lost count of the steel tools and wooden hammers I keep snapping like twigs lol, but I limit my strenght now so I break less things lol.
