SOLD All About Avocados

366
Avocados may seem like they could be intimidating.  But they really are so easy to work with.  And besides, they are so good delicious and healthy!

Talk to me about this healthy stuff.
Avocados are full of healthy fats.  But don't let that intimidate you.  They contain monosaturated fats which actually reduces the bad cholesterol and reduces your risk of stroke and heart disease.   They also contain protein (more than other fruits), lots of fiber, and very low in sugar.   Avocados are full of lots of vitamins (even more potassium than bananas!)

Is an avocado a fruit or a vegetable?

Avocados are fruits!

How do you know when an avocado is ripe?

With the avocado in the palm of your hand, gently squeeze.  If it is ripe it will be firm but also yield to gentle pressure.

Make sure you avoid fruit with dark blemishes on the skin or over soft fruit.

How do you ripen avocados?

It's easy to ripen avocados.  Just place the avocado in a plain brown bag and store at room temperature.  It will be ripe in a couple days.

Can I speed up the process?

Put an apple or banana in the bag with the avocado to speed up the process!

Do NOT use the microwave to speed up the process!

How do you cut an avocado?

Cutting an avocado is easy!  Cut in half lengthwise around the seed.  The turn it a quarter, and cut in half again.  Remove the seed, but don't throw it away!  Then, starting at one end peel of the skin.

Why don't I throw the seed away?

Because you can use it to regrow an avocado plant!  Pretty awesome huh?  Find out how here.

How do you store leftover avocado?

If you have any avocado leftover it is really easy to store.  If it is uncut, store them in the refrigerator.  If you have already cut it, sprinkle it with lemon, lime or white vinegar.  Wrap it in plastic wrap or place it in an air tight container.

So there you have it.  How to buy avocados, how to cut them and how to store them.  You will be serving up guacamole in no time!
