Tips on how to select and store:
• Look for fresh avocados with uniform fruit appearance that are heavy for their size. Avoid dark blemishes or overly dark fruit. To tell if an avocado is ready for immediate use, gently squeeze the fruit in the palm of your hand. Ripe, ready-to-eat fruit will yield to gentle pressure.
• Place your avocado sideways on the table, cut it lengthwise around the seed. Turn and cut again. Pull apart the four quarters and remove the seed.
