If suddenly you bought an unripe fruit, it is enough to hold it at room temperature for 2-4 days, and the avocado will ripen, in the refrigerator, the unripe fruit may simply deteriorate with prolonged storage.

For faster ripening, you can wrap the avocado in paper and keep it at a temperature of 25-27 t C. Also, storing avocados together with bananas will contribute to rapid maturation.

Avocados are usually cleaned as follows: cut lengthwise into halves and remove the bone. The bone of a ripe avocado is removed simply, it is enough to gently pry it from all sides with a knife. To get the pulp from the halves, you can use a spoon, or clean each half with a knife.

Next, the avocado pulp is kneaded into a creamy mass or cut into cubes, depending on the recipe. It is worth noting that the pulp of an avocado, like an apple, begins to darken when interacting with air. In order to avoid this, you can sprinkle the pulp with lemon juice.

Avocado can be eaten raw, like any other fruit, you can spread it on bread, add a little salt and eat it as a sandwich. It can also be used as an ingredient in salads and snacks, mashed soups, sauces and cocktails. Avocado goes well with foods such as fish, caviar, chicken, shrimp, cucumbers and tomatoes, etc.

Bon appetit, dear friends ! Always Yours, Old Sam.
