PURCHASING AVOCADOS
Recipe
Avocados must be used when fully ripe. They do not ripen on the tree and are rarely found ripe in markets. Fresh avocados are almost always shipped in an unripe condition.
To test for ripeness by cradling an avocado gently in your hand. Ripe fruit will yield will be firm, yet will yield to gentle pressure. If pressing leaves a dent, the avocado is very ripe and suitable for mashing. They are best served at room temperature.
When you buy hard, green, unripened avocados, store them at room temperature until they soften. Once avocados are at a desired stage of ripeness, they may be refrigerated for up to 2 to 3 days.
