Avocado Recipe FAQs
How to ripen avocados?
Store avocado in a paper bag with a banana to ripen faster. Check the progress of your ripening avocado every day — it will go from hard to perfect in the blink of an eye.
Is avocado a fruit or vegetable?
It's both! Botanically, avocado is a fruit. However, in the culinary world, we treat it as a vegetable.
How to eat avocado?
If you've never tried avocado before, we recommend mashing it and enjoying it on toast, maybe with a poached egg. There's a reason avocado toast is such a huge sensation!
How to soften avocado?
Your avocado will soften as it ripens. When it's still hard, keep it out of the fridge. Putting it in a cold environment will ensure that it never gets soft.
What does avocado taste like?
Avocado has a distinctive flavour. Unlike most other fruits, it's rich and creamy. It has just a hint of sweetness, but not much.
Can you freeze avocado?
Yes, you can. You can only freeze ripe avocados. Chop them up before freezing them, and remember they will lose their texture when defrosted, so use them for guacamole or mash.
How to store avocado?
Keep it out on the worktop in a paper bag while it ripens. Once it's perfectly ripe, move it to the fridge.
How to keep avocado fresh?
You can put your ripe avocados into the fridge. If you leave them out, they will become overripe and mushy. You can keep them fresh for up to a week in the fridge.
How can you tell when an avocado is ripe?
A ripe avocado will yield slightly when you press it. Be sure to treat it gently — don't go poking and prodding it! If it feels too soft, then it's gone off.
Can you eat an avocado seed?
No. Avocado flesh is rich and tasty, but the seed and skin are both inedible. Throw them into the compost bin.
