Do you love avocados and want to know when they’re just right to eat? Here are some easy and fun tips to help you figure out if your avocado is perfectly ripe and ready for your favorite snack or meal!
Hold the avocado gently in the palm of your hand. Give it a soft squeeze. If it feels a little soft and gives in just a bit, then it’s ripe and ready to eat! But be careful not to squeeze too hard, or you might bruise it.
Take a look at the color of the avocado’s skin. A ripe avocado usually has a dark green to almost black color. However, be sure to avoid avocados with dark spots or mushy areas, as they might be overripe.
At the top of the avocado, there’s a small stem. Try to gently remove it. If it comes off easily and you see green underneath, your avocado is ripe and ready to enjoy!
Did you know that avocados are also called “alligator pears” because of their bumpy skin? They are not only tasty but also full of healthy fats that are good for your body!
Now you’re all set to pick the perfect avocado. Enjoy making delicious dishes with your ripe avocados!
