Notes
Avocados are also called 'alligator pears' because of their rough green skin and this is the reason some varieties do not peel off easily

*To ripen avocados place them with a bunch of bananas and you will get perfectly ripe avocados everytime

Add lemon/lime juice as soon as you cut avocados as they might turn brownish because of their rich iron content
