How to know if an avocado is ripe?

We teach you how to ripen an avocado to enjoy it at its best.

When you buy an avocado straight from the field, you will most likely receive it green, which is how avocados should be picked from the tree. Once harvested, avocados begin their ripening process.

You may wonder how to know if an avocado is ripe, or how to know when an avocado is ready to eat. Therefore we have created this

Quick Guide to Ripening Avocados

Well, as we mentioned before, avocados begin to ripen once they are picked from the tree, so you will have to keep them at home for a while before you can enjoy them. But you will be able to see the whole process!

When you receive your Celestine Premium avocados at home, the most important thing is to remove the avocados from their box and place them in a fruit bowl in a cool, dry place. Do not refrigerate them yet!

Select the avocados you want to enjoy first, and wrap them in paper (you can use newspapers), this will help speed up their ripening. Leave them for 3 or 4 days and you will be able to see how they will start to acquire a brown color in the case of Hass and Lamb Hass avocados, and in the case of Bacon and Fuerte, which do not change color, you can notice the texture is a little softer.

Once it's brown with some green, or doesn't feel so hard to the touch, you can enjoy it in salads or in cubes; if you prefer it creamier, wait a day or two more!

When your avocados are almost completely brown and/or you can feel their creamy texture when you touch them, it's the optimal time to enjoy them for 2-3 days! To make them last longer, you can refrigerate them.

Now you know when it's time to eat your avocados, how to ripen your avocados and you know the entire ripening process of avocados!
