How to Pick Ripe Avocados…….

Avocados can be expensive and it stinks
when you buy some and they are all ready
brown on the inside and useless. Here is
a quick tip on how to buy ripe Avocados.

The squeeze test :Pick up an avocado and
give it a light squeeze. A ripe avocado
should be firm but give just a little.

BAD PICKS- a UNDER RIPE avocado will be
hard, like a stone. They’re hard to
scoop out or mash up. Can be a good buy
if you are going to wait a week or two
before you use them.

An OVER RIPE avocado will give easy when
you give it the squeeze test, and will
feel kinda mushy. 9 times out of 10,
these avocados, when you cut them open,
will be Brown and half rotten on the
inside. Avoid at all costs.

  1. Excellent. You are right on target. Avocados are in season now on the island and I’m enjoying them immensely till the season ends.
