A ripe, juicy avocado has a creamy texture and is sweet with a subtle nutty flavor. You can tell when an avocado is ripe by gently pressing on the flesh with your fingertips.
You can also check for ripeness by checking the skin underneath the avocado. If the skin is green, then the avocado is ready to eat. If it’s brown, then it’s past its prime and will likely spoil quickly if you don’t get rid of it right away.
It’s best to store ripe avocados in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can keep them in a sealed container or jar.
