I buy avocados under ripe at Costco, in bags of 6. The trick is to check them EVERY day. Once they are ripe, put them in the fridge. They will keep just about perfect for weeks. I agree with ATK's conclusions and gave up on trying to add lemon juice, etc. to keep from browning. Just wrap in plastic and don't worry about the brown spots. One of my favorite breakfasts is my homemade sourdough bread, lightly toasted, then mash on 1/2 an avocado, mixing in salt, pepper and garlic power. Top with crispy pieces of bacon. Yum! 😋

I also buy those Costco bags of six to help with my low level of good cholesterol. Have you ever tried storing them in the fridge unripe, then taking one out per day to start ripening? I wonder if the results would be the same. I haven’t tried either method yet. Thanks for your tip! I usually end up rushing to eat mine in three days.

@@JohnPMiller I don't think I'd do it that way, because I'd forget to take them out.

To prevent browning: cut open the avocado, take out what you need for your recipe - then carefully put the avocado two sides back together and place in the fridge as is. If you are careful and get the two halves to fit back together nicely (even is one side has all the meat removed) then it will not brown.

I used to own an avocado grove. Did you know there are requirements for the oil content of avocados for them to be ready to pick? You either belong to a coop and they send someone out to test your avocados to see if they are ready or you pay for a tester and then check the price the packing houses are paying each morning once they are ready. It’s kind of like gambling. That’s why I joined the coop. The coop also sends the pickers to get them once they are ready. Plus the coop doesn’t exploit the workers the way some shops do the supply pickers. I learned to take green avocados in the house and keep them out until they ripen. I put them in fridge once they get black.

When I have a need for only half an avocado, I leave the pit in the unused half to reduce the exposed surface area even further. It works like a charm! I always wonder why everyone seems to use chef knives to cut avocados. I have always used dull butter knives which are perfectly capable of cutting through the avocado skin and avoiding a nasty kitchen accident.

I use a chefs knife - many of our avocados have a thicker skin and if it accidentally gets too ripe - no squeezing too much. I have never even come CLOSE to cutting myself in YEARS of cutting them.

@FrancisSiuChock 19 күн бұрын

I appreciated all the information for someone that has an avocado pretty much every day 😁Being in Canada we pretty much only get unripen avocado, so it's always 'fun' trying to manage having enough ripen ones that are ready to eat. Honestly, I've eaten two day old cut avocado and it tastes just fine! A trick I've learned over the years is to not just refrigerate the avocadoes, but to also submerge them in water in the fridge. I've found that easily slows ripening by another week. Ohh, one more thing (and I'm still trying to validated this) but I've noticed that the oblong vs. rounder avocados have smaller pits (which means more flesh) 😁

We have an avocado grove in California. Before you buy, please, I beg you, buy US grown. If you want to know why, look into what blood avocados are - how they are grown, depleted Mexican aquifers, cartel-run, and Mexican deforestation. That means buying in season so yes, you may have to forego a Hass avocado toast or guacamole, so try a few other just as delicious varieties that are harvested outside the Hass season.

Really loved the video and not being a regular around here, decided to spend time more often... Having learned all about avos from this video, and also having a lot of experience, I thought I could never go wrong, I would put the thing in plastic bag and wait for it. But fate had different plans... Last avocado I bought quite prematurely was stubborn, it did not go softer for a few weeks, and when I believed the top is softer and that I would not be able to get a better result by waiting, it was really rubbery and the insides had these black ropes although the flesh was still hard. People started to grow avocado in Turkey now(where I reside) and we have imported Kenyan avocados this time of the year. a friend of mine( grower) claims no one should buy avos for four months starting from June(?!), and this is not about haas variety which has little if any local produce .

Good information as always, thank you. You may or may not know Mission Avocado out of California set up regional ripening centers in multiple locations around the West at least and maybe more. They upgraded the ripeness and quality of the fruit for their retail customers who used to work with hard green fruit and inconsistent ripeness on their produce shelves. Not a plug, just a cool fact on the dedication to deliver better fruit to the consumer.

When I eat half of the avocado I simply place the empty on top of the other half (with the pit in place.) Does a pretty good job of preventing browning.

@LloydGM 24 күн бұрын

Having grown my own avocados (45 trees), I can say: 1. Always leave the stem in place. If the stem gets removed, immediately plug the hole with butter. 2. Do not pick until the fruit STARTS to turn black, then pick and place OUT OF THE SUN to finish ripening. 3. Stick to Fuerte avocados instead of Haas. Grocery stores ONLY deal in Haas, which are hard shelled and a major PITA managing ripeness. Fuertes, on the other hand, have a leathery skin and accurately tell you the ripeness of the fruit. Can't find fuertes in the store? Yeah. That's because they actually require CARING about the quality of the fruit instead of the PROFIT. Stores couldn't give a rip about quality, they only care about profit. Tip: grow your own.

A practical method to reduce browning for cut avocados: Take a small glass bowl with a lid, place the cut avocado in there, (ideally the side with the pit still attatched), and include some cut up red onion as well, it can be a few wedges of onion, whatever fits in the bowl as well. That will keep the avocado for a day or two in the fridge just fine, it wont taste like onion, and it's pretty easy to do.

@Yo_Adrienne 26 күн бұрын

You don't need to soak the avocado in onion juice. Just store it in the same air-tight container as a chunk of onion. The gas given off by the onion staves off the browning for a couple of days, and the avocado doesn't pick up the onion's flavor.

Using a little powdered citric acid for canning in a bit of water works. Dip it in & out quickly, but be sure you've coated each exposed surface.

Remember, if you plant the Avocado pit, the fruit from that tree may be very different than what you pulled the pit from. The original fruit was inedible.

The hass avocados off of my tree ripen more quickly if they are nicked. I discovered this accidentally when the avos nibbled by squirrels ripened more quickly than the ones that were intact. To keep avocado halves from browning, I remove the pit and squish it jut a little bit, cut side down, on a flat glass plate then refrigerate.
