Treat avocado's as any other FRESH fruit..
buy them when they are hard and they will ripen under normal conditions in 4-5 days...store in a fruit bowl with apples, oranges and bananas on kitchen counter top.
For use tomorrow, buy them medium soft..when the flesh slightly yields to the touch..again store in a fruit bowl with apples and bananas..they will ripen up overnight.
Never buy a soft avocado for use that day..it can be bruised or bad..even if the store is giving them away.
Never buy and avocado where the pit rattles or sounds loose when it is shaken.
If your avocado's ripen before you are ready..which often happens when buying more than 2, store the ripe ones on the top shelf of your fridge, not the salad crisper as that is too cold.
A fully ripe avocado will keep fresh for 2-3 weeks on the top shelf
To prevent bowls of avocado dip and salsa's oxidizing (turning black) add the whole pit to the middle of the mix, cover and serve later.
Eat more avocado as savories, sweets, dips, salsas and soups
