FAQs

How do I know when my avocados are ripe?

If the avocado yields to gentle pressure, you know it's right. Outside skin may have a darker color. Grab the avocado in one hand and lightly squeeze it. It should feel soft, not mushy.

Avocados are shipped firm, what if I want to ripen them faster?

Place them in a paper bag with a sliced apple or banana and roll up paper bag so it closes shut. 

This helps to concentrate the levels of ethylene gas which is what helps induce the ripening of the avocados.

Do avocados ripen on the tree?

No, avocados mature on the tree. In fact, avocados must be picked in order to ripen.
