What happens when an avocado's pit is soft?
Is there anything wrong with the avacado? I became a fan of the avacado a couple years back, and about ten minutes ago I cut one in half. Then when I normally give the pit a good whack with a knife and twist the pit out. This time the pit split! Like i was cutting wood, I quartered the thing. This hasn't happened before and It got me thinking. Anybody know why this would happen? Or is it just that some pits are harder than others.

It might be a bit riper than other avocados you've had. I had that happen to me once and about cut my finger in half! I whacked the knife into the pit (while holding it in my left hand) and went right THROUGH the whole darn thing, cutting into my ring finger. I lost feeling in it for a few months, scared the heck outta me! Avocados are worth it though.....tasty little green things :)
that just means its a little old, maybe time to throw it out... a perfect avacado has a SLIGHTLY smushy, but still firm skin, and the pit will be hard as rock, but yes your knife should still go through it to remove it
i can't remember eating a avocado but i think that you are in a bad situation and whatever it is you can talk to me about it
