Avocado Lovers: Keep Them Fresh Longer!

First, check if your avocado is unripe by its bright green color and firm feel. Don’t squeeze too hard—just a gentle press in your palm does the trick. Leave unripe avocados on your counter for 4-5 days. Once they’re ripe (dark skin, soft to the touch), eat them within 1-2 days for the best flavor. If you want to slow down ripening, pop unripe avocados in the fridge. They’ll last up to 2 weeks this way! Take them out 2 days before you plan to eat so they can finish ripening at room temp. For ripe avocados, store them whole in the fridge for up to 3 days. If you only need half, rub some lemon or lime juice on the flesh, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. Want to save them even longer? Puree with lemon juice and freeze for smoothies or guac later. Super easy! #AvocadoTips #KitchenHacks #FreshAvocados #Food #Cooking
