This Trick Lets You Know If An Avocado Is Ripe Without Opening It
Before you cut open an avocado and get disappointed, use this tip.
It’s all about the stem.
The little round part where the stem of the avocado is is a good indicator of its ripeness. If the stem is difficult to remove, it’s because the avocado isn’t ripe yet. If it falls off without any difficulty, it’s time to dig in!
How to ripen your avocado faster
The best way to speed up the ripening of the avocado is to put it in direct contact with other fruits. Add it to your fruit basket, particularly beside apples and bananas—they produce ethylene, a natural gas that develops the texture, appearance and flavour of fruits and vegetables and accelerates their ripening.
