Avocado Toast

January 9, 2024

If you’re ready to eat an avocado right away, pick one that is deep green, purple or near-black in color and indents slightly when you apply gentle pressure. Avocados that are not yet ripe will be lighter green and very firm, and they will ripen within a few days at room temperature. Store unripe avocados on the counter away from moisture and direct sunlight in order to speed up the ripening process. To slow down ripening, store them in the refrigerator.
