Stoneless avocados sold at British grocery store

(KGTV) - It’s the avocado convenience you might not be expecting: a stone-free ‘cocktail’ avocado with an edible skin is being sold at British grocery store Marks and Spencer.

The chain debuted the fruit in limited supply this month.

While some may see it as an unnecessary development, the sale comes after a growing number of ‘avocado hand’ injuries in the U.K.
