A ripe avocado is perfect to eat that day. You can store it in the refrigerator if you plan to eat it in a day or 2 to prevent the fruit from becoming overripe or spoiled.

🥑 To understand an avocado’s ripeness, check its color. If it has a darker color, it means it’s ripe or ready to eat. Also, it’ll feel slightly soft but not “mushy” to the touch. However, remember that color can vary for different avocado types. Moreover, if it’s subjected to gentle pressure, it’s ripe and ready to eat.

🥑Keep in mind that there are many different types of avocados, and some of them stay green even after they’ve ripened. Hass avocados, for example, change colors as they ripen, turning into a purplish black color and getting softer near the stem. Shepard avocados, on the other hand, don’t change their color and stay bright green while ripening but feel softer near the stem.
