HOW TO PICK A PERFECTLY RIPE AVOCADO 🥑 follow 👉🏼 @kalejunkie for more tips!⁣
⁣
Okay here’s my general guide for picking an avocado from the grocery store that you can come home and use right away.⁣ Avocados are expensive 💰, there’s nothing worse than coming home with an overripe avocado (mushy & black inside 🤢), or an underripe avocado when you want to make avocado toast or guac TODAY. ⁣
⁣
1. Color—In general, the darker the avocado, the riper it is! Bright green? UNLESS it’s a specific variety of avocado that is bright green when ripe, it’s NOT ripe. When the color is dark green-almost black, ripe! In between? Well, your avocado is almost there and will be ready to eat in another day or so!⁣
2. Firmness—If the avocado yields to firm gentle pressure you know it's ripe and ready-to-eat. Solid as a rock? Underripe. Mushy? Overripe.⁣
3. Texture—Examine the skin! If it’s bruised, your avocado will also be bruised inside.⁣
4. Stem test—Flick the small stem off the avocado. If it comes off easily and It’s green underneath, it’s ripe! If it’s brown/black, it’s overripe. If you can’t get that stem off, it’s underripe!⁣
