How to choose an avocado so that it is ripe and not rotten
Avocados are a delicious and healthy fruit that can be used in a variety of dishes. However, to enjoy its flavor, it is important to choose a ripe fruit.
If you want to speed up the ripening of an avocado, you can put it in a bag with bananas or apples. These fruits release ethylene, which helps other fruits ripen. I hope these tips will help you choose a ripe avocado and enjoy its taste, writes prostoway.
Here are some tips on how to choose a ripe avocado:
- Size. Do not buy very large avocados as they may be overripe. It is best to choose fruits weighing no more than 200 g.
- Shape. Avocados should be pear-shaped, no more than 10 cm long.
- The skin. The skin of a ripe avocado should be dark green or black. If the skin is green, the fruit is not yet ripe.
- The flesh. If you press on the avocado, it should leave a dent. If there is no dent, the fruit is not yet ripe.
- Pit. If the avocado is ripe, the pit is easily separated from the pulp.
- The stalk. The stalk of a ripe avocado should be green and fresh. If it is dry, the fruit is overripe.
