Avocado Tips:
- How do you tell if an avocado is ripe? As soon as they are soft to the touch when squeezing.
- How do you keep an avocado from turning brown so quickly? Squeeze lemon juice on a cut avocado to delay the oxidation (browning) and if you’re storing the avocado in the fridge, keep the seed/pit with it!
- How do you make avocados ripen faster? Throw them in a bag with an apple or a banana.
I’m just seriously avo-control….do you want to guac about it???
Hope you enjoyed these yummy avocado recipes…and my avocado jokes! haha
