Avocado Ripeness

January 17th, 2006 · No Comments

Alongside the pear, the avocado has to be the trickiest of all fruit to get just right - in fact, I would wager that it is the most frequently thrown away fruit of all.

Anyway, the point of this is that I have just read about a great little test on the Vegan Forums to see whether avocados are ripe or not. Melbourne based vegan Adam Antichrist writes:

Hold it in your hand, and it should be firm. Gently press the top where it was attached to the stalk and it should be soft if ripe. If unripe, avocados are bloody horrible.

I usually just go for the general squeeze technique which is unpredictable at best so I am looking forward to testing Mr. Antichrist’s technique when I go to the supermarket tonight!
