Frequently asked questions
How long do avocados last?
About 4–7 days. Once ripe, refrigerate to hold them for 2–3 more days.
How do I ripen an avocado quickly?
Place it in a paper bag with a banana or apple at room temperature for 1–2 days — the ethylene speeds ripening.
How do I know when an avocado is ripe?
It yields to gentle pressure in your palm and the skin darkens. If it feels rock-hard, give it a day or two.
Should I refrigerate avocados?
Only once they are ripe. Refrigerating an unripe avocado halts the ripening process.
How do I stop a cut avocado from browning?
Leave the pit in the unused half, brush the flesh with lemon juice, wrap it tightly and refrigerate.
Are avocados fattening?
They are calorie-dense, but the fats are heart-healthy monounsaturated fats — nutritious in sensible portions.
