How to use

Check firmness to determine ripeness: yields slightly to gentle pressure indicates ready-to-eat fruit; firmer fruit can be stored at room temperature to ripen. Wash the skin before cutting. Cut lengthwise around the seed, twist halves to separate, remove the pit with a spoon or careful knife technique, and scoop or slice the flesh as required. Use immediately to avoid browning, or delay enzymatic oxidation by adding citrus juice or storing cut pieces under refrigeration in an airtight container.

Usage recommendations

For consistent portioning in foodservice, select fruits within the 16/18 size range to achieve predictable yields per kilogram. To extend shelf life, refrigerate ripe avocados and use within a few days; unripe fruits can be ripened at room temperature away from direct sunlight. Minimize cut-surface browning by applying lemon or lime juice and storing in airtight containers.
