Tips to select good avocados
 |

-The long-shaped avocado variety is usually tastier than the round-shaped avocado.
-When choosing avocados, you should not press too much on the fruit because avocados are easy to bruise.
-Do not pick overripe avocados or those with spots on the skin or get too ripe.
-To check the fruit is ripe or not, shake the avocado. If the inner pit pulls away from the flesh, you can choose that fruit.
-Preserving unused avocados: If you do not use all the avocado in one go, apply a thin layer of cooking oil to the surface of the fruit and put it in a refrigerator.
