How to choose a ripe avocado | How to pick a ripe avocado

Choosing an avocado is actually really easy, if you know what you're looking for.
In this video, I will show you how you can confidently choose a ripe avocado at the grocery store.
Please note that this video is specifically for hass avocadoes, and not those big green avocados - those are a different variety, and I may make a different video to show you how to choose those ones.

Thank you so much for this video! I never knew about the color under the stem. That is extremely helpful. 😀

I was looking for a KZbin channel like this for a while and stumbled by chance on yours,so simple and easily explained.Thx👍🏼.

[@marlenelb3857]

I don't squeeze its not fair coz ur bruising it just like the other people is doing. If you want to to squeeze just press gently. . But the best way You just look for a not green avocado, peel off the stem and if brown its ripe. If you buy green they ripen within 2 days in a brown bag.

[@TC-vl9ij]

Partly correct. Yes, don't squeeze w/ fingertips as it WILL cause bruising. Use full length of one finger to roll over avocado side to side. This will give you an idea of internal flesh consistency. 2nd DO NOT take stem off. This WILL cause browning to inside flesh under stem area.

[@marlenelb3857]

@@TC-vl9ij Thanks. That's true. Some of them the stem was already gone. If it's not too brown it's ok especially when u can still see greeniyish inside where stem fell off. I love all the videos with other fruits too. Very helpful and I have shared them with friends and family. 👍🏽❤️

I agree

[@sue008A]

I just subscribed to your channel. I'm on my way to the market and needed this information about the avocados. I've one question... After I've made my purchase how long will the avocados last before they start to go bad. Also how can I store and keep the other half from turning brown?

[@FoodChainTV]

You can freeze them for later use. To keep them from turning brown you squeeze or rub lemon juice or vinegar on them.

[@mapnyx4903]

So what are the brown spots in the avocado?

[@MrUwphotography]

So, we should bruise all the avocados to find our nice one

[@FoodChainTV]

Yes, you got it. Thanks for watching!

[@gabriellesinclair971]

I like to take produce home and let it ripen on the counter lol but I didn’t know when it was ready to open

[@jimtaylor6930]

I all ways get the ones that are just starti g to get ripe if I can . If they are too ripe they don't taste as good to me. My mom told me to get the ones just starting to get ripe or just turned .

[@detroiterhere4897]

👊

[@nancymook5920]

How do u know the seed is big or not? I noticed some have very big seeds.

[@FoodChainTV]

You won't know until you open them. Unless you have an x-ray machine :)

[@danw1352]

It's simple, I buy them green and eat them one day later.

[@GTSongwriter]

Can you eat the brown spots?

[@FoodChainTV]

You can, but why would you want to? They don't taste good. They taste rancid, usually.

[@outspoken6626]

Thank you Mr!!!😉 👍 👌 👏👏👏👏

[@ritasmith9553]

Oh, the produce managers are going to have a meltdown! Squeeze VERY GENTLY, so as not to damage the fruit. If it gives ever so slightly, VERY, VERY, SLIGHTLY, it is ready to buy, and prob. ready to eat if left on the counter for a day or two - depending on how ripe you like them/ or what you plan to do with them. Buy them if they are black or almost black, look good. If you remove the stem, you need to pay for it!

[@sylviavillarreal4166]

Don’t squeeze the avocados!!!!

[@detroiterhere4897]

Okay. Then what is your suggestion to not waste our hard earned money on under ripe or overly ripe avocados?

[@woodwirks1061]

@@detroiterhere4897 Buy them under ripe a few days ahead of time, or if you like lots of black spots when you cut them open, buy the ones that everybody has squeezed their fingers into like he is telling you.

Don’t you mean the Charmin?

[@charlesselma4570]

Thanks, you should have shown how you cut it up

[@FoodChainTV]

Thanks for the suggestion.

[@lesliehuynh7086]

You did NOT mention what does having brown spots mean? I just ate them 'cause cutting away will lose like half of my avocado.

[@FoodChainTV]

Brown spots are just oxidation (oxygen starting to break down the fat). If brown spots smell/taste old, don't eat it. If brown spots smell/taste fine, you can eat them.

[@jerriettamcclure2950]

What happens to the avocado after the stem is removed?
