Half an avocado left over that you'd like to incorporate into a dish tomorrow? You have a good number of unripe avocados in the house which are all likely to be ripe around the same time? Or the avocados you have are all already ripe. So what is the best way to store your avocados so you can enjoy them for a long(er) time?
Our avocado storage TIPS!
- Enjoy a large quantity of avocados for a long time
The avocados you order from us are packed and shipped immediately the day they are picked. The ripening process of an avocado starts after it has been picked from the tree. Three to five working days later you will receive the unripe avocados. About a week later, your avocados are good and ripe to eat.
To enjoy your avocados for a long time, divide the avocados: put some with other fruits like bananas and apples, so they ripen faster. Or wrap them in newspaper, they also ripen faster from this.
Store the rest in a dark and cooler place at a temperature of 12 to 15 degrees Celsius to slow down the ripening process a little. And put an avocado from the cool room in the fruit bowl every day or every other day. This will ensure that not all avocados are ripe at once, so you can enjoy your order of avocados for longer. - Slow down the maturation process a little
If the avocados are already well ripe and you want to stop the ripening process, store them in the fridge. Keep in mind that they do harden quickly then. By the way: a really ripe avocado will also keep for around 3-6 days. - Storing half an avocado
There are several ways to store a half avocado:
-Leave the stone in place
Store the half where the pit is in. This will prevent the avocado from turning brown and you can easily store the fruit until the next day.
-Sprinkle with lemon juice
When you sprinkle the flesh with lemon juice, it counteracts the oxidation process so the avocado does not turn brown and preserves important oxidants such as vitamin C.
-With red onion
Fill a container with chopped red onion and place the avocado on top, skin side up so that the flesh lies on top of the onion. Seal the container and store in the refrigerator.
It is best not to let half an avocado you want to store come in contact with oxygen to prevent the oxidation process. Therefore, store the avocado in a sealed bag or container in the refrigerator.
