How to Store Avocados
For advice on storing avocados, our friend Mimi Holtz from Avocados Direct offers these tips.
- If the avocados are rock hard, store them in a box or bowl.
- When they’re just starting to soften, store them in a single layer on the counter or in a box.
- When they’re just about ripe, monitor them so they don’t become overripe.
- When they’re ripe, it’s okay to hold them in the refrigerator for a few days.
