Ingredients
Instructions
- To ripen: Store avocados at room temperature. To speed up ripening, place them in a paper bag. Check daily. Do not refrigerate until ripe.
- To test ripeness: Gently squeeze the avocado in the palm of your hand. It should feel firm but yield slightly to pressure-not hard or mushy.
- To serve: Halve the avocado, remove the pit and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Enjoy as is or use in your favorite recipes.
Recipe Tips
If you need to slow down ripening, place ripe avocados in the refrigerator.
Sprinkle cut avocado with lemon or lime juice to prevent browning if not eating immediately.
Mini avocados are great for portion control-one per person is usually perfect.
FAQ
How do I know when a mini avocado is ripe?
Give it a gentle squeeze in the palm of your hand. It should feel firm but yield slightly to pressure, similar to a ripe peach. Avoid avocados that are very hard or have soft spots.
Can I use mini avocados in desserts?
Absolutely! Their creamy texture makes them perfect for avocado chocolate pudding, smoothies or even as a butter substitute in baking.
How should I store mini avocados?
Keep unripe avocados at room temperature. Once ripe, you can store them in the refrigerator to extend their life by a few days. Never refrigerate unripe avocados.
