How to choose a ripe avocado | How to pick a ripe avocado

Choosing an avocado is actually really easy, if you know what you're looking for.

In this video, I will show you how you can confidently choose a ripe avocado at the grocery store.

Please note that this video is specifically for hass avocadoes, and not those big green avocados - those are a different variety, and I may make a different video to show you how to choose those ones.

I found your channel a few days ago and it’s changed everything for me. Bc of my adhd, I’m really weird about fruit and vegetables and I wasn’t getting enough because I wasn’t sure how to properly pick them out. I’ve started buying more fruit and veggies thanks to you and I’m super excited about it!

Thank you so much for this video! I never knew about the color under the stem. That is extremely helpful. 😀

Thank you! This has been a long journey for me. Was petrified of buying avocados

Thank you I just found your channel & I'm learning so much, prices in California are outrageous!!! It's nice to know how to pick out ripe veggies and fruit for the price we pay

I don't squeeze its not fair coz ur bruising it just like the other people is doing. If you want to to squeeze just press gently. . But the best way You just look for a not green avocado, peel off the stem and if brown its ripe. If you buy green they ripen within 2 days in a brown bag.

Hi Christian, I just found your channel, this is the 3rd one I've watched. I subscribed after watching the 2nd one. Thanks for the great information. Hopefully after watching your videos I will end up with better fruits and vegetables. I also loved the one on cooking ground beef. Thanks, I look forward to watching more from you. 🙂👍

I got so many great tips from this channel. Thank you for making these interesting and informative videos. Love them. ❤

Rather than put thumb dents in them, I squeeze the entire thing. It works perfectly and doesn’t damage the rest.

Thanks, Christian! This information about avocados was very helpful.

Oh, the produce managers are going to have a meltdown! Squeeze VERY GENTLY, so as not to damage the fruit. If it gives ever so slightly, VERY, VERY, SLIGHTLY, it is ready to buy, and prob. ready to eat if left on the counter for a day or two - depending on how ripe you like them/ or what you plan to do with them. Buy them if they are black or almost black, look good. If you remove the stem, you need to pay for it!

You forgot to add the pit removal, where you whack a knife into it then twist to remove. Love your vids on how to choose ripe fruit - thanks!

[erikaunterberger]

Thank you for your efforts, telling us what to look out for !❤

[nagarajdn]

Thanks a lot, failing to get right type, this information is very useful.

[gabriellesinclair]

I like to take produce home and let it ripen on the counter lol but I didn’t know when it was ready to open

[MrUwphotography]

So, we should bruise all the avocados to find our nice one

[mapnyx]

So what are the brown spots in the avocado?

[kaylalawson]

I vant find anything that mentions the "freckles" inside. Every single avocado i have ever split open has these "freckles" and they are indeed brown. It looks like the avocado you have in this video has them as well. Is this just a normal thing? Excuse my ignorance lol but I've never experimented much because i have never been able to figure them out lmfao

I just subscribed to your channel. I'm on my way to the market and needed this information about the avocados. I've one question... After I've made my purchase how long will the avocados last before they start to go bad. Also how can I store and keep the other half from turning brown?
