How to store a good Avocado?
For proper handling, we recommend dividing the fruits as follows, depending on your consumption: one portion in the fridge, one portion at room temperature, and the remaining portion to speed up ripening. Fruit subject to weight loss.
Keep refrigerated
To delay ripening, store your avocados in the refrigerator away from the cold wall at a temperature between 5.5 – 7 degrees Celsius
To seal in a container
You can also store the avocado in an airtight container to prevent air from reaching the fruit
Correct ripening
To ripen them, leave your avocados at room temperature (they will ripen slowly but all at once)
Do you want to speed up ripening?
To speed up ripening, wrap your avocado in paper, or place it in a paper bag with an apple or banana
Keep in freezer
Avocados can be frozen, but there are a few things to keep in mind: first, the avocado must be ripe; only the pulp can be frozen (not the whole fruit). We recommend cutting it into slices or cubes and drizzling the pulp with lemon juice, then placing it in the freezer in convenient bags or containers. It will be perfect to use for making creams or smoothies.
