Its so difficult to pick the perfect avacado! trust me, even when we think we have found one, it turns out to be a whole other storyinside!. Bright green ones are definetely not the ones to go for unless you don't plan on eating it anytime soon!. The darker somewhat soft ones are the best! Beware!.!.some are soft because one too many people have squeezed them looking for that perfect one! Watch for really mushy spots too!. This is a great time of year for avacados too! Good luck :DWww@FoodAQ@Com

Once you've opened it, it will go bad before it would get ripe!.

They should feel firm but somewhat not hard (it's hard to explain) like the perfect peach or nectarine when you gently squeeze them!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The inside of an avocado is usually a greenish-yellowish color, but it depends on the variety!. If it's super hard, let it sit at room temperature for a couple days, it will get softer (only for the remaining avocado that you haven't yet cut open)!. But be careful not to let it get too soft -- it may turn brown on the inside!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

When ripe, the outside of an avocado should be a dark green color, almost brown!. It should give a little bit when you gently press with your thumb!. It should be soft and creamy inside, and a bright green/yellow!.

If the store only has bright green/hard ones, put them in a brown paper bag for a few days to ripen them!. Putting a banana or apple in the bag can speed the process along!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
