Keeping Avocados Fresh

Purchasing and Storing Avocados:

Purchasing Avocados:
Using straight away pick an avocado that is soft but still slightly firm.
Using in a few days, pick a firm avocado and leave them on the counter to ripen. However, once they get to a soft but still slightly firm stage place them into the refriderator until ready to use, this will slow down the ripening stage.

Storing a Cut Avocado:
Place the cut avocado with the pit inside in an airtight container. Place a piece of freshly cut onion inside the container with the cut avocado. The avocado will stay fresh for 3-5 days.
