Bad Timing with Avocados?

Posted by Diana van Eyk on January 3rd, 2012

If you’re like me, you buy your avocados while they’re slightly under-ripe, and then wait for them to ripen before using them.

In the past, I’ve sometimes missed that perfect time to use my avocados and they’ve wound up in the compost because their flesh had turned brown by the time I got to them. What a waste!

I ran into someone who kindly shared a solution to this problem. Like me, she leaves her avocados out at room temperature to ripen. But if she finds they’re getting just slightly soft and she’s unable to get to them, she puts them in the fridge, and finds that they will keep for up to two weeks that way. That’s so much better than the window of a day or two when avocados are left at room temperature.

Hopefully, this solution will work for you and your avocados.
