Whether you are making a salad, guacamole or looking to garnish a main course, avocados are a frequent addition to any meal. But did you know that cutting one of these fruits can be tricky and potentially dangerous?

But If you’re not careful a slip of the hand can result in deep cuts to the palm or fingers.
