How do you know when avocados are ripe?
Unlike other vegetables avocados did not ripen on the tree. Instead, they ripen after they are harvested. The best way to see if an avocado is ripe is to give it a little squeeze. Place the avocado in the palm of your hand and apply gentle pressure. A ripe avocado should give a little, feel soft but not mushy.
If the avocado is still firm, almost hard, you can buy the avocado and place it on your kitchen counter to ripen over the next few days.
