Avocado is a healthy and delicious fruit, especially popular during hot weather. Among them, creamy avocado is preferred for its rich and sweet flavor compared to watery avocado. However, choosing and buying avocados can be tricky. To avoid this, you can apply the following tips to choose delicious creamy avocados.
Check the skin
According to the experience of avocado growers, good and creamy avocados will have slightly rough, green skin. When ripe, the skin is fresh, shiny, and covered with yellow spots. Avoid avocados with brownish-pink skin as they tend to have a lot of fiber. If the skin is black, it means the flesh inside is overripe and mushy, with a lot of fiber and not tasty.
Tips for choosing delicious, creamy, and fragrant avocados
Pay attention to size and shape
If it’s creamy avocado, when you hold the fruit, it should feel firm (heavy in hand) because the flesh inside the avocado is firm. When shaken gently, you can hear the sound of the seed inside. However, avoid choosing fruits that produce a very audible sound when shaking because the flesh of those avocados will be thin.
In terms of shape, round creamy avocados often have large seeds but very little fiber. Long-shaped creamy avocados, tapering towards the stem, will have more flesh but quite a lot of fiber. Therefore, you should consider choosing according to your needs and preferences.
Check the stem part
Creamy avocados will have a sunken stem. Choose avocados that still have the stem attached as they are fresher and better. When you gently press the stem, if it feels soft, it is a delicious creamy avocado. If the stem is big and plump, it means the fruit is still young, and if the stem is slightly dry, it means there is less flesh.
Check the ripeness
Good avocados will be slightly soft, not mushy. Overripe avocados will be very soft, lose their fragrant taste, have a strong taste, or ripen unevenly.
A good avocado is easy to peel, you just need to gently peel it off to separate the skin from the flesh.
Avocados only ripen one to two days after being harvested from the tree. When buying avocados, do not put them in a closed bag because it will make the fruit spoil quickly. It is advisable to place them in a cool place, with the stem facing upwards, and let the avocados ripen slowly. Just one ripe avocado will help the remaining avocados in the basket ripen faster.
If you are not able to use it immediately, you can put the ripe avocado in the fridge, but do not leave it for too long as it will make the avocado lose its fragrant taste and nutritional value.
Suggestions for storing avocados in the fridge without discoloration
Many people have the habit of peeling avocados, removing the seeds, and cutting them into small pieces, then putting them in the freezer or the fridge refrigerator for gradual use. It is convenient, but if not done properly, frozen avocados can become discolored and slightly bitter.
