What Are the Stringy Things in Avocados?

Avocado lovers may encounter a frustrating issue when cutting into a ripe avocado, finding stringy fibers running through it. These strings, known as vascular bundles, are safe to eat but may affect the texture of the fruit. While it’s difficult to avoid selecting a stringy avocado, some varieties, like Lamb Hass, tend to have more noticeable strings when less mature. However, these fibers can be easily removed by pinching them off the avocado slices. So, next time you encounter a stringy avocado, don’t worry too much – just whip it into a puree for your favorite guacamole or dip.
