How do you pick avocados?
- Unblemished avocados that yield slightly to finger pressure are ripe and ready to eat. If you select a harder piece of fruit, you can hasten the ripening by placing it in a brown paper bag and leaving it at room temperature for 1 to 2 days.
How do you prepare avocados?
- Slice them onto toast, omeletes or into salads, mash them for creamy guacamole, or blend them into smoothies for a rich, nutritious boost. They’re even great for adding texture and flavor to desserts like avocado chocolate mousse.
How do you store avocados?
- Store unripe avocados at room temperature until they soften slightly when gently pressed. Once ripe, keep them in the refrigerator to slow further ripening and maintain freshness for a few days. To preserve a cut avocado, cover it tightly with plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container with a squeeze of lemon or lime juice to prevent browning.
