Most likely they will be hard as a rock when you buy them. Don't try to eat them....leave them on the counter and wait until they are soft to the touch, but not squishy. After they are ripe you can put them in the fridge.

Listen to what Becky says about making sure it's ripe or you will be disappointed. I generally make mine into guacamole. Here's how I make mine:
After scooping out the insides I dice it up (like you would eggs) and add finely chopped tomato and green onion then add a little salt, pepper and garlic to taste and mix. Some like to completely mash their avocado for guacamole but I like mine chunky. A little lemon or lime juice will help it stay green - especially if you intend to leave some in the fridge. It can turn brown quickly and it doesn't look so nice then.... |
