Avocado 101:

  • Break out your avocados and celebrate National Avocado Day! Avocados From Mexico brand avocados are always in season, so you can have fresh avocados 365 days a year. And not only are they easy to add to your favorite dishes, they’re a heart-healthy treat that’s always worth it.

  • Why Avocados From Mexico?
    • Good fats, like those in avocados, help the body absorb fat-soluble nutrients without raising bad cholesterol levels when eaten as part of a healthy diet.
    • Avocados are heart healthy. They provide naturally good fats, are low in saturated fat, and cholesterol and sodium free.
    • Avocados From Mexico are nutrient-dense. This means that they have nearly 20 vitamins and minerals, including 11 percent of your daily recommended fiber, per 1/3 serving size (50 g) 3-slice serving.
  • Depending on when you’d like to enjoy your avocado, you can opt for a darker skin avocado that yields a gentle pressure and is ready to be eaten, or you can grab a firmer avocado with a greener skin that will ripen between 1-3 days.
  • Tired of waiting for your avocado to ripen? Here are some quick tricks to help you speed up the ripening process:
    • Bag It (With Fruit!): Place your avocado in a paper bag with a banana or apple and fold to close. Store it in a warm environment, until the skin turns a darker green and yields to gentle pressure, which usually takes 1-3 days.
    • Set It: Place your avocado by a warm and sunny window or leave it out on your counter. Once its skin turns a darker color and yields to gentle pressure, it’s ready to be eaten!
    • Bag It (With Rice!): Place the avocado in a bag of uncooked rice, and fold to close. Store it in a warm environment, until the skin turns a darker green and yields to gentle pressure, which usually takes 1-3 days.
  • Telling your avocado to slow down won’t help, but below is a helpful trick:
    • Chill It!: Place a ripe avocado in a refrigerator. Take it out and enjoy anytime!
  • Too full? Save your avocado for later and ensure the great same taste with these tips:
    • Coat & Cover: Coat halved avocado with lemon juice or olive oil. Tightly cover and seal with plastic then refrigerate. Cold and airtight, your avocado is ready to be enjoyed anytime.
    • Wrap & Seal: Take the halved avocado and place in a resealable plastic bag, or wrap tightly in a plastic wrap, ensuring the seal around the pit and flesh, then refrigerate. Cold and airtight, your avocado is ready to be enjoyed anytime.
