Hass Avocado

The Hass avocado is the most common variety and is grown all year round. When ripe, they have a rough purple-black outer skin with a creamy, buttery texture and a rich, nutty, grassy flavour. They are a very adaptable meal that can be used in a sandwich, egg toast, or salad recipes. They can also be used as butter, spread, guacamole dip and so on.

STORAGE

Unripe avocados can be stored in the refrigerator for several weeks. If you haven't cut the avocado yet, it can still ripen gradually in the refrigerator.Please check on your avocado every now and then while it's in the fridge, just in case you miscalculated how ripe it was when you placed it in there the first time. A ripe uncut avocado can stay in the fridge for about a week before going bad. 

If the avocado is really mushy, it won't survive long in the fridge, possibly only a day or two. Instead, consider using it immediately or freezing it for later use in smoothies. Freezing avocados is a fantastic choice if you prefer to have them in smoothies. This is a great idea to prolong the life of your avocado while also adding extra thickness to your smoothie. To freeze an avocado, peel it first and freeze before placing it in a freezer bag. It's difficult to separate the peel from the flesh of an avocado once it's frozen, which is why it's best done as the initial step.

FUN FACTS & TIPS

The most simple method to determine whether an avocado in the supermarket is ripe and ready for consumption is to gently squeeze the fruit in the palm of your hand and with your fingertips. Ripe, ready-to-eat fruit will be firm but yield to gentle pressure. Examine the stem as well; if it's easy to detach and still green, it's ripe. If you can't flick it off, it's not ripe, or it's too easy to remove and brown below, it's overripe.

1. Slice the avocado, scoop its flesh and place it into a blender
2. Add milk and blend well
3. Add sugar, gula melaka or honey as desired
4. Pour the mix into glasses and serve chilled to enjoy a refreshing milkshake
