avacados

August 2009

Hi BP34 ... The best way to tell if a Hass Avocado is ready for immediate use is by the colour of the skin (they're in season at the moment). The change from green, to rich purple, to a black shade, meaning it is ready to eat. For green skin varieties such as Shepard, Reed, Sharwil and Wurtz, use gentle pressure on the stem to see if it yields. If it does, it's ready to go. Cheers, hg
