Is it ok to eat an avocado that is somewhat hard?!


Question: Is it ok to eat an avocado that is somewhat hard!?
I squeezed it and it gave a little before I cut it!. It seems to taste ok, but it's not all that soft!. I had a harder time cutting then normal!. The avocados I planned on using were more nasty looking as I think they were overripe!. I threw them out!. Is it ok to eat this avocado!?

I'm making black bean salsa!.

Answers:
If your avocado is unripe, tt may taste a bit "woody," but it's okay to eat it!.

Your avocado should be very dark green, but not black, and should be slightly soft to light pressure, but not feel "mushy!."
Some types of avocado will still be bright green when ripe, but will always have that "slight give to pressure" feel when they're ready to eat!.

You can ripen them by storing them in a brown paper bag at room temperature, the same way you ripen peaches!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

they say if you put an unripe avocado beside ripe fruit it will become softer, if you're cooking and not eating raw it should be ok!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

it should be ok!. as long as its not tooo unripe!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

It sould be alright if you are going to cook it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
