Do you find it hard to cut avocados? What if we told you it’s possible to “open” them using only your bare hands? A viral video showing how to do so went viral on Instagram recently. In the clip, a woman demonstrates the exact steps one must follow to get the avocados to ‘pop’ and naturally separate into two rough halves. She first holds the avocado with its top, pointier end facing outwards. She pressed down on both sides using the lower part of her thumbs. She then moves her hands to the middle of the avocado and again presses down.

Finally, she applies pressure slightly also at the bottom. We see the avocado opening up gradually and later it gently breaks into two halves with the seed visible inside. In the background, we hear people being impressed with this technique as it unfolds in front of their eyes. They applaud and the woman seems pleased. She takes a little bow at the end. In the caption, the user who posted the reel thanked the tour guide (the woman depicted) for teaching this method. Watch the complete viral video below:
