Holy guacamole! Hawaiian family grows record-breaking avocado

In the past few decades, avocados have risen from relative obscurity to become one of the most popular fruits in the country. From sushi to Mexican food, nearly everyone loves the creamy texture and rich taste of the crop. That’s why it’s a big deal when big avocados are discovered — like the nearly 6-pound monster grown by the Pokini family of Maui, Hawaii. The plant was their personal submission to the Guinness Book of World Records and, after a professional judge examined both the fruit and the decade-old tree it came from, the family made off with 2019’s prize for the World’s Biggest Avocado. But that’s only half the story: Once the award was presented, the family took the avocado into their home and made a staggering amount of guacamole to celebrate. The award-winner was all they needed to feed the entire family!

Despite how popular they are, not everyone knows the right way to cut an avocado.
