Tips
Great ideas for purchasing, storing, and consuming avocados.
- Always go for fresh, ripe avocados that don’t have any dark spots. Fresh avocados will always have dark skin and are tender to touch.
- Don’t refrigerate avocados unless they are ripe. Ripe avocados can safely stay up to three to four days inside the refrigerator.
- You can keep raw avocados on your kitchen counter, and they will remain perfectly fine for three to four days. If you want to speed up the ripening process, you can keep a bunch of them in a brown paper, away from direct sunlight.
- If you have eaten half of your avocado and want to store the rest for later, it is better to squeeze a lemon on it to prevent it from browning.
- Guacamole is one of the tastiest ways to eat avocados. Mash an avocado with lime juice, garlic, cilantro, tomatoes, jalapenos, and salt for a delicious and nutritional spread and dip.
