How to Select a Perfect Creamy Delicious Avocado
If you don’t buy avocados often, selecting good ones at the market can be a challenge. Follow these steps to pick a creamy, melt-in-your-mouth avocado every time.
Look: A good avocado might be green or blackish-purple. Look for one that seems plump (no obvious dents or tears in the skin).
- Feel: Once you’ve identified a promising candidate, pick it up. It should feel relatively heavy for its size. The most important thing to feel for, though is softness. If you are planning to eat the avocado the same day, it needs to give a little when you squeeze it gently. At the same time, it shouldn’t feel gushy or hollow under the skin.
- Make sure to pay special attention to the top of the avocado near the stem. When avocados go bad, this is where it starts, so make sure yours isn’t too soft near the stem.
- 4 If you are planning a few days in advance, go ahead and pick out the harder avocados, then ripen them together in a paper bag on your countertop (don’t refrigerate!) They should soften up in a day or two and be perfect when the time comes.
5 Enjoy your avocados!
