HOW TO CHOOSE A RIPE AVOCADO

Here's a few tips to always choosing good ripe avocados:

  • Give it a gentle squeeze and if it feels soft, but not mushy, it's good
  • Color may vary, but it's best to look for ones that have a dark green, almost black color
  • You can flick the stem off, and if it comes off easily and the avocado flesh underneath is green, you know it's ripe. If it comes off too easily, the avocado is likely overripe, and if it's not easy to get off at all, you know it's not ripe yet
  • Plan on using avocados 1-2 days after you buy a ripe one. If you're not planning on using it right away, then buy ones that are slightly underripe so you have perfect avocados by the time you need them

HOW TO STORE LEFTOVERS

There's a few ways to store leftovers so that they don't turn brown.

  1. Since there's lime juice in the guacamole, just keep in an airtight container for 3-4 days. This stays fresh, but does turn a little brown after a day
  2. Once guacamole is in a container, squeeze some more lime juice over the top to make a "barrier" then put the lid on the container and put in the fridge for a couple of days
  3. If you want to keep it in the serving bowl, rip off a piece of plastic wrap and press it onto the surface of the guacamole so there's no air pockets and keep in the fridge

EXPERT TIPS

  • Buy your avocados 1-2 days in advance
  • A potato masher is a great choice for mashing avocados
  • Add any additional ingredients to taste
  • Use fresh ingredients- fresh lime juice, fresh cilantro, fresh tomatoes, etc.
  • If you have a hard avocado, place it into a paper bag with a banana or apple for 2-3 days to ripen it up
  • Squeeze lime juice over leftover guacamole and make sure it's in an airtight container so it doesn't turn brown

FAQs

Can you eat guacamole if it turns brown?

Yes, there's an enzyme in the avocado that reacts with oxygen and turns it brown. While it may not be pretty to look at, brown guacamole or a brown avocado (not rotten, just exposed to air) is still ok to eat.

How can I ripen unripe avocados?

If you have unripe avocados, you can place them into a brown paper bag with an apple or a banana for two to three days. The apple or banana produces ethylene gas which, when trapped in the paper bag, can speed up the ripening process.

How long does this last?

Homemade guacamole with no onion can last in the fridge for three to four days.
