Ripening
Key for The Perfect Flavor
If there’s one thing important in buying avocados, other than making sure they’re from Peru, it’s that they’re perfectly ripe when you want to eat them. Here’s a quick guide: a ripe avocado should give slightly when pressed gently with your palm. If unsure, flick the stem—if it comes off easily, it’s ready. Then the last step is just slice, scoop, and enjoy!
Firm
not yet ripe
Firm avocados are perfect for purchasing a few days (approx. 4 to 5 days) before you plan on serving them to ensure that they will be perfectly ripe and ready to eat.
Breaking
almost ripe
Breaking avocados will have a softer feel but will not quite yield to firm gentle pressure. These avocados should take another day or two to ripen.
Ripe
ready to enjoy!
Ripe, ready-to-eat avocados may have a darker color, but color can vary, so it is best to check by applying gentle pressure as well. Ripe avocados will yield to firm, gentle pressure.
