[@howardkerr8174]

I just started on a diet that uses avocados for a fat source, and you guessed it, bought some on sale and all are ripening NOW. Therefore I really appreciate this video, and especially the important tip to make sure air can not get to the avocado. THANKS SO MUCH.

[@sheryjithesh2517]

I use avocado in place of butter on toast. Also I make avocado lime and cilantro salad dressings . Helpful video..

[@TinaKilcup10]

@SheryJithesh do you have a recipe? Please 😁

[@ResilientRaimey]

You are fantastic! I love your animated and cheerful personality. These tips for avocado care and preservation are super helpful, too! 🥑 -Angie J.

@@ResilientRaimey Awww thank you so much! My health has declined so much that I haven’t been able to keep making videos. I hope to get back to it one day. 🥹

[@JoAnneCBlew-tl1zf]

I don't discard the seed, I root them and plant them, they are beautiful green plants and I put them on my deck in the summer, looks great.

[@oppy2002]

Have you gotten any avocados from the tree?

[@Tree3547]

I loved your video.. what a beautiful way to explain..very genuine. I use mashed avocado with tomatoes onion n coriander and minced garlic on toast or with a chunky sized steak. It comes together beautifully.

[@CBReal1290]

You are just the right amount of perky to get someone excited about freezing avocados I look forward to watching some of your other videos and will blessed holiday season and Merry Christmas

[@snowbound4078]

Very well executed!!! Thank you for the video.

[@artonaut]

I too buy avocados when they're hard; I never buy them ripe -- just too risky. I put them all in the fridge crisper, and only take them out one or two at a time to ripen. To ripen, I put them in a closed brown paper bag and set it somewhere warm for 1-3 days. I had a horticulture prof who told us that researchers had shown that the brown paper bag was better than any other method. The researchers hadn't figured out exactly why, though they had lots of theories. Maybe they've figured out why by now -- I took Hort eons ago! Thanks for a great vid!!

[@jpbonil426]

I've have frozen avo, and guac that I made. It's too watery when it defrosts. Just FYI. I used to have an avo tree as well. I stiff froze it, but I needed to buy fresh avo to mix with it to get the right texture.

[@jamesrbutler1]

I mash up the avocado and mix in plain yogurt and lemon/lime juice. Then I chop up a lot of grapes and add them to the mix. I think it makes a great fruit salad.

[@isabelwinstanley5445]

great, thank you - so helpful. I cook potato and mash it with a little margarine and spoon of tahini then heat it until the bottom is crisp in a lillte oil in a frying pan. Top potato with a poached egg, then top the egg with chopped avocado mixed with a little American mustard and mayonnaise.

[@DianaEricJ]

That sounds delicious!

[@vgil1278]

Why would anyone use margarine that is full of chemicals when there is butter(filled with vitamins and minerals)and tastes so much better?

[@missourigal]

I just watched someone else's video on this and thought it was good until I just watched yours now. Wow, what an excellent video!!! Thank you so much for all the info. Really I couldn't think of one thing to ask !

[@manvinderdhanjal6233]

You can freeze the avocado whole as is, in the freezer and pull it out, unthaw it and eat it, it keeps the texture and colour. That is, If you have too many ripen up fast. I keep mine in the fridge and pull it out when ready to eat and it seems to slow the fast ripening process for a few days. Your tip is good too. I’ve Saran wrapped the half cut avocado and it keeps it the fridge for a few days.

[@SilverMoonGardens]

Thanks! I was wondering how to do this without using plastic 😊

[@kathystearns9012]

Avocados freeze nicely. I freeze mine when I have too many. 💕😋

[@Blessed-abc]

Oh what a burst of sunshine you are 🌞

[@jodrew1845]

I recently saw a post of using avocado as a toping for pasta or zoodles. I'm making it this evening, in fact.

[@bun04y]

I make avocado vinaigrette dressing... mashed avocado with your favorite seasonings (I like cracked pepper, onion and sometimes cayenne), then slowly add in apple cider vinegar until it is the consistency of a creamy dressing. Let it sit a bit for the seasonings to mingle (usually just the time it takes to make my salad) and serve. yummy

[@mia7040]

Thank you that was great info.. I use avocado spread on toast like butter!! Mmm...mmm. Good!

[@hughenadasilva5055]

I eat avocado and egg salad for one of my Keto meals! Thank you for this tip. Going to try it.

[@yardmasterswealtheducation8424]

That was the best instructional video! My wife loves the things, and we both love the Guack (LOL)! I'm going to the store! Checking under stems: if it's brown, put it down! If it's green, something about bringing it home that rhymes with green!

[@DianaEricJ]

Haha love it! If it’s green it’s pristine! Just don’t remove the stem unless it’s ripe (black or very dark green) and you are planning to eat it within 24 hours. Enjoy that guac!

[@ninavorobeva4927]

If it's brown- put it down If it's green - bring it in

[@thompsd3]

not necessary to squeeze the avocado to see if it is ripe. all you need to do i find the stem mark on the avocado, looks like a button,and put pressure on it. If there is a bit of give the fruit is ripe if not the avocado needs more time to ripen . This method ensures no damage to the avocado.

[@donnajohnson2596]

Thank you for the great tips. I just learned about the benefits of avocado tea, too.

[@erichardson8811]

Wow u never throw away the seed..u keep it to grow more or put them in your smoothie or once crushed in the food processor to small tiny pea size sprinkle the small nuts on ur salad..etc..very nutritional.

[@safiyaal-quraishi7705]

Hi, thanks for the lovely video, i did as you said, then when i took it out and left it defroze color change to black and was lots of water in it ?

[@DianaEricJ]

Hmm, it could be a few things. How long was it frozen? Was there air in the bag? Or did it sit out for quite a while? It does get a bit more watery, but I haven’t had it turn black.

Could you slice and freeze? Would it be good to thaw and use or is it better just to mash?

Do you keep a seed in the baggie when you are freezing the mashed avocado?

Just made the best guacamole! Use avocado, cucumber, yellow onion, red onion, tomato, jalapeño pepper, lime juice, cilantro, salt and pepper to taste and about 1 or 2 tablespoons of virgin olive oil! :) The best guacamole I’ve ever made thanks to “la capital” you tube channel 💕💕 Use habanero instead of jalapeño for that extra kick of deliciousness 🤤

[@nicholas8479]

Tip:. Freeze bag on top of something flat, so bag is flat and stacks better.

[@corinnerico342]

Hello, any idea how long you can freeze it for ie 4 to 6 months? Or less.

[@DianaEricJ]

Around 6 months is great.

[@DianaEricJ]

It does start to brown around 2-3 months though.

[@Beesmakelifegoo]

Thank you, simply awesome! I discovered that mixing in yogurt keeps it fresh in the Frigidaire placed tightly in a container. But,wow freezing it without any air is the best,wonderful news to share. Bye

[@Zarcon2008]

Near perfect except the lime-lemon/juice. People think this keeps them from turning brown...it doesn't. The best way I've found is to toss the seeds in the bowl with the mashed avocado. Especially if it's out as a dip, I've seen people pour lots of lemon juice and all it does is taste like lemon.

[@tenasmith7284]

Just put it in a small metal pot with a lid and put it in the refrigerator and it will stay fresh for a very long time... I accidentally found this out but it works every time

[@NolaGB]

I know ... WHY would anyone want just a little bit of avocado??? Yep ... my mother did the same as yours and I'm a lot older than you are. LOVE avocado!!!

[@sab508]

[@ivyjohnson4039]

Thanks for the info. Can’t you preserve avocado without freezing it? Can’t you just use a portion, and cover the rest and put in the fridge for the next use?

[@DianaEricJ]

Ivy Johnson great question! You can definitely keep it covered in the fridge for up to 24 hours. After that it oxidizes a lot. This is more for preventing food waste, like if you have a few avocados and they will go bad before you can use them all.

[@ivyjohnson4039]

@@DianaEricJ Is it possible to bottle/can avocados?

[@Galainthekitchen]

Thank you for the great tutorial! Very interactive video!

[@kimberlyarmstrong2929]

There are two reasons you should NOT pull that end off the avocado in the store. One is it allows oxygen to get into fruit which makes it turn brown. Second, it’s downright rude. I have come across almost an entire bin of avocados with the ends pulled off from other people doing the same and they were all ruined. Please wait until you have purchased the avocados and are getting ready to use them to do this.

[@gothicmuffinofdoom]

Take the stem out in the shop?

[@keliandjaz]

Can you use a vacuum sealer?

[@khendhrahsilverbridge2617]

Hej sweetie, let the pit dry and put it in the ninja. It will become powder. Use it in smoothies. Icecream, tea, etc. is v ery nutritious and healthy. In Africa the cook used to add some spoons to the bread flour and on cookies batter. India uses it in Ayurvedic medicine. I joke you not. Google it! 🤗

[@DianaEricJ]

Thanks, I plan to research this!

[@gcsusetyo]

Thank you for these tips, very helpful. By the way, can avocadoes be canned? I'm thinking about making avocado pesto for a gift, but I want to know whether it could keep for a few months like jam or olive oil-based pesto.

[@racyracine]

No harm in trying it.

[@kathylord7939]

I freeze olive oil pesto with the herbs I get from my garden. The only thing you have to remember is to leave headspace on the jar put oil on top of the mixture as well and push Saran wrap all the way down to the surface. I tried this as an experiment and left one jar for a whole year in the freezer and it came out perfectly beautifully green and tasting awesome. I also substitute other nuts for the Pinon nuts and most of the time leave the cheese out, now all the time since I'm going vegetarian. Good luck

[@DianaEricJ]

Good question Grace, I'm honestly not sure. Are you thinking pressure canning? Avocado can definitely be made into a pesto (sounds amazing!) and keep in the fridge or freezer that way. my only concern with canning is making sure you avoid botulism, either with an acidity or by pressure canning. I'd love to know if you try it!

[@kellycarver2500]

Helpful video, lady. Thanx. Here's some info that can help you and yours, too. Please share it. Our filthy gvt has been torturing and killing our helpless pets and loved ones, using our devices. Many yrs ago, my little short haired blk and tan mini doxy started having violent seizures every month. We took him to vet aftervet and they gave him meds that didn't help. I changed his diet, changed his water, and nothing helped. Sometimes the seizures were so bad he almost died, and we had to rush him to the vets to save his little life. I always cried and prayed when he had these seizures, because it hurt me so deeply to see my baby suffer so bad. Well, about a yr ago, my husband and I were sitting here in our living room and we heard his cell ph make a strange, hi pitched but quiet noise it never made for any reason, and IMMEDIATELY my dog started having seizures! I have been targeted over 30 yrs and never thought that the sick freaks could be deliberately CAUSING the seizures, BUT THEY WERE! I couldn't believe that someone could be so heartless and cruel that they could do such a horrific thing to a helpless little dog!! But they DID! The seizures stopped that day, and a week later my babydog went BLIND. I was heartbroken AGAIN, to see my bay walk into walls, fall down stairs (till we blocked them) and get lost behind a door or the couch!! HEART BREAKING!! His little organs swelled up inside of his belly, and the vet said it was his pancreas. My baby got very sick a couple weeks before Thanksgiving. He was vomitting, had the runs, and refused to eat for me. He was being SHOCKED every hour, night and day, and neither of us could get much sleep. I busted agents AGAIN, using the speakers on this PC to put out FREQUENCIES, hurting my little boy! I unplugged the speakers and then busted them again, using the built in speakers to emit these dangerous frequencies!! I shut down the pc and could still hear a high pitched whine coming directly from the MONARCH TOWER LLC across the street! My baby got so sick he couldn't even lift up his little head anymore and he died in my arms THANKSGIVING DAY about 4pm. I AM HEARTBROKEN and I miss my babydog terribly! THE SICK FREAKS TORTURED AND KILLED HIM just as the had the three prior to him before I realized what they were doing to us!! They are doing these horrific things to HURT US. They are sick satanist freaks who ENJOY hurting helpless, innocent people and animals that cannot defend themselves! Let me also say that they tested other bioweapons on us as well, which cost the life of my longhaired doxy, and nearly cost my life as well, a couple yrs ago. The sick freaks have put nanotech systems in the shots, masks, tests and swabs, and then using the towers to manipulate and control those systems inside the victims. They are also CAUSING inf, disease, organ damage and death w frequencies! WATCH YOUR DEVICES and keep vol low or off and never sleep near any devices!! These sick freaks MUST be stopped! They are deliberately killing us and our loved ones. This is ALL deliberate!

If you pick off that stem, then it oxidizes and you ruin the avocado for the next person

[@francestutt5308]

What about storing it in water? Did you say that in the beginning?

[@moradeunadeyileka6433]

can I use Apple Cider Vinegar instead of lemon

[@DianaEricJ]

Sure! You don't even HAVE to use an acid for preserving it honestly. I use the lemon juice because I find that the flavor after freezing is slightly different so I like it better when I thaw it with a little acid already mixed in.

[@hallyshealthychoice]

Thanks. Very informative.

You dont pull off the stem unless your goi g to eat it ,the stem allows the avocado to ripen evenly, you will ruin an avocado if it's not ripe by removing the stem.
