I buy avocados under ripe at Costco, in bags of 6. The trick is to check them EVERY day. Once they are ripe, put them in the fridge. They will keep just about perfect for weeks. I agree with ATK's conclusions and gave up on trying to add lemon juice, etc. to keep from browning. Just wrap in plastic and don't worry about the brown spots. One of my favorite breakfasts is my homemade sourdough bread, lightly toasted, then mash on 1/2 an avocado, mixing in salt, pepper and garlic power. Top with crispy pieces of bacon. Yum! 😋

I also buy those Costco bags of six to help with my low level of good cholesterol. Have you ever tried storing them in the fridge unripe, then taking one out per day to start ripening? I wonder if the results would be the same. I haven’t tried either method yet. Thanks for your tip! I usually end up rushing to eat mine in three days.
@SandyHuntress

@@JohnPMiller I don't think I'd do it that way, because I'd forget to take them out. The way I do it there's almost always a nice avocado ready for me when I want it, no rushing needed. 🙂 I have found that having half an avocado every day is unadvisable. At least for me, it kinda messes with my digestion.

We have an avocado grove in California. Before you buy, please, I beg you, buy US grown. If you want to know why, look into what blood avocados are - how they are grown, depleted Mexican aquifers, cartel-run, and Mexican deforestation. That means buying in season so yes, you may have to forego a Hass avocado toast or guacamole, so try a few other just as delicious varieties that are harvested outside the Hass season.

To prevent browning: cut open the avocado, take out what you need for your recipe - then carefully put the avocado two sides back together and place in the fridge as is. If you are careful and get the two halves to fit back together nicely (even is one side has all the meat removed) then it will not brown.

I used to own an avocado grove. Did you know there are requirements for the oil content of avocados for them to be ready to pick? You either belong to a coop and they send someone out to test your avocados to see if they are ready or you pay for a tester and then check the price the packing houses are paying each morning once they are ready. It’s kind of like gambling. That’s why I joined the coop. The coop also sends the pickers to get them once they are ready. Plus the coop doesn’t exploit the workers the way some shops do the supply pickers. I learned to take green avocados in the house and keep them out until they ripen. I put them in fridge once they get black.

When I have a need for only half an avocado, I leave the pit in the unused half to reduce the exposed surface area even further. It works like a charm! I always wonder why everyone seems to use chef knives to cut avocados. I have always used dull butter knives which are perfectly capable of cutting through the avocado skin and avoiding a nasty kitchen accident.
@cylonred8902

Having grown my own avocados (45 trees), I can say: 1. Always leave the stem in place. If the stem gets removed, immediately plug the hole with butter. 2. Do not pick until the fruit STARTS to turn black, then pick and place OUT OF THE SUN to finish ripening. 3. Stick to Fuerte avocados instead of Haas. Grocery stores ONLY deal in Haas, which are hard shelled and a major PITA managing ripeness. Fuertes, on the other hand, have a leathery skin and accurately tell you the ripeness of the fruit. Can't find fuertes in the store? Yeah. That's because they actually require CARING about the quality of the fruit instead of the PROFIT. Stores couldn't give a rip about quality, they only care about profit. Tip: grow your own.

I appreciated all the information for someone that has an avocado pretty much every day 😁Being in Canada we pretty much only get unripen avocado, so it's always 'fun' trying to manage having enough ripen ones that are ready to eat. Honestly, I've eaten two day old cut avocado and it tastes just fine! A trick I've learned over the years is to not just refrigerate the avocadoes, but to also submerge them in water in the fridge. I've found that easily slows ripening by another week. Ohh, one more thing (and I'm still trying to validated this) but I've noticed that the oblong vs. rounder avocados have smaller pits (which means more flesh) 😁

I've been using the vacuum pack method and storing them in the freezer (and some in the fridge). They keep for a looong time that way. So, I buy 8 or 10 at a time when they're on sale and when a new sale shows up, I take the previous packs out of the freezer to get them ready and mix with another fresh one or two for use in guac or salsa or just as a paste.

A practical method to reduce browning for cut avocados: Take a small glass bowl with a lid, place the cut avocado in there, (ideally the side with the pit still attatched), and include some cut up red onion as well, it can be a few wedges of onion, whatever fits in the bowl as well. That will keep the avocado for a day or two in the fridge just fine, it wont taste like onion, and it's pretty easy to do.

Remember, if you plant the Avocado pit, the fruit from that tree may be very different than what you pulled the pit from. The original fruit was inedible. It took a lot of cross-breeding and chance to come up with the current ones and they are propagated by grafting the Haas or whatever variety onto rootstock so they are a clone.

You don't need to soak the avocado in onion juice. Just store it in the same air-tight container as a chunk of onion. The gas given off by the onion staves off the browning for a couple of days, and the avocado doesn't pick up the onion's flavor.

Using a little powdered citric acid for canning in a bit of water works. Dip it in & out quickly, but be sure you've coated each exposed surface. It doesn't brown, doesn't get soggy, and doesn't inpart much of a flavor. I do agree though that vacumn paxking works best since it eliminates all the oxygen.

The fridge will already slow ripening drastically. The water is, frankly, a waste of time and space. Even if it technically does inhibit some of the chemical processes involved, the fridge temp has already got you covered. A ripe avo will last for weeks in the fridge (as other comments here attest)

Momma taught me to cover the exposed meat with strips of avocado skin taken from the first half, seed left in.

Those ball jar lids for fermentation that have a hand pump to suck out the air can work well like the vacuum seal bags.

Excellent video, but there is another way to keep avocados from browning- just sprinkle some citric acid on them. As one of the previous videos pointed out, having powdered acids on hand is super useful. When ready to eat, you can just rinse the surface off to remove the acid, or leave it on if you're making something like guacamole.

You can pickle the avocados too, if you have too many. It doesn't change the taste much but keeps them nicely green.

The hass avocados off of my tree ripen more quickly if they are nicked. I discovered this accidentally when the avos nibbled by squirrels ripened more quickly than the ones that were intact. To keep avocado halves from browning, I remove the pit and squish it jut a little bit, cut side down, on a flat glass plate then refrigerate.

Great video! But I must ask, can I make avocado mash for toast later and freeze the mash?? Thanks in advance! 🥑

Good one, Dan.i'll never test an avocado again by pressing it with my thumb.

Very exciting about leaving prematurely opened avocado's. My go to has been to pickle them if I open them too early, which is great but too much effort
