Avocados rippen all at once.

In my country, you either buy a single giant avocado or 2 at an outrageous price, or you buy small avocados by the kilo at more reasonable prices. I think that the small avocados cannot be exported so easily so they are left for internal offer. I bought a kilo of the small ones some time ago and they were hard as stone. I left them in a bowl with some fruit hoping that the still warm temperatures would rippen them. And I forgot about them. When I remembered, they were all ripe except one. I placed them in the fridge and now I´m eating them. It is good that I love them as I will have to eat them in every possible way. This evening I mashed one, added diced bunch onions (a bit) and diced tomato. Olive oil and salt made upfor the rest of the treat. I toasted some of the delicious bread I still have and ate it. It tasted like a sort of guacamole although I don´t have hot chilies. I think it is more that a snack. I´ll call it dinner and will later eat yet another piece of chocolate cake for dessert. What are you having for dinner, friends?

We must get the medium sized avocado. I don’t see a large or smaller size. I like them sliced in a sandwich with mayo and onion.

I added diced bunch onion to my sandwich today. But I used olive oil.

@RubyHawk I like to feel the taste of avocados in my mouth. I use mayo for other sandwiches.

@marguicha I usually use mayo on a sandwich. I like olive oil with garlic.

@marguicha That is the reason small avocados are left behind for the locals to buy

That sounds amazing. I don’t actually know what I’ll have for dinner. Probably something lite since my appetite isn’t large tonight.

They get over ripe so quickly. Here I mostly see them sold small ones in batches of about 6.

@marguicha does that help keep them from getting to ripe once they ripen?

I've tried avocados a few times... I liked them with egg-in-a-hole but didn't like them any other way.

@DaddyEvil egg-in-a-hole has nothing to do with avocados, as I see it.

What I do to make my avocado get ripe easily is I place them inside the rice container

Place the avocados just before they are ripe in the fridge.

I wrap in old newspaper and let rest in a bowl on the kitchen counter and they usually are ready to eat in 4 to 6 days.

I wrapped like that years ago but now I don´t have newspapers. So I place them near ripe fruit until they are almost ripe and then to the fridge.

@marguicha We received two free newspapers every week, good to keep the pages to seed plants and to wrap avocados.

Avocadoes are expensive here too although we produce a lot. Most are exported.

We also have avocados here in the Philippines. And there are a lot of recipes that I saw that uses avocado. One of the famous is mashed avocado with milk and some ice , it will be a perfect treat and alternative for ice cream too ! perfect for summer and hot weather. I had spaghetti and bread for dinner .

It seems there is a small window to use them before they are over ripe. That is what kind of frustrates me about avocados. They are good for you though.
