- Unbox your avocados straight away and put them somewhere where you can monitor their ripening progress day by day. Avocados can become over ripe very quickly after reaching their optimum level of "yumminess" so don't miss it!
- Allow the avocados to ripen naturally at room temperature and away from direct sunlight.
- To accelerate the ripening process, try placing some of your avocados in a paper bag with some bananas, apples or kiwifruit. These fruit produce ethylene which will stimulate the ripening process.
- Once ripe, you can place your avocados in the refrigerator to extend their life by up to 5-7 days.
- Ensure half eaten fruit are sealed well to prevent oxidation which will cause the avocado to go turn brown and spoil.
- Share with friends and family to ensure that your avocados are enjoyed while they're at their best.
- Freeze your unused avocados by extracting the flesh, mashing it, and storing it in a sealed plastic bag with the air removed. It won't defrost to be as good as the fresh fruit, but it's close and it's better than wasting it!
