The Hass variety It has a darker green color than other avocado varieties. Its shape is pear-shaped or slightly oval.
The outer skin is wrinkled. After the fruit is harvested, the skin begins to darken and turn purple in color.
This dark tint signals the optimal time when we can open the avocado and eat its pulp which will be light yellow in colour and have a pleasantly creamy and buttery consistency.
You can slow down the ripening process of avocados by storing them in the refrigerator for a few days: the cold temporarily blocks their ripening.
If you want them to ripen faster, just put them out of the fridge next to an apple. This fruit, in fact, emits ethylene, a natural gas that accelerates ripening, making the avocado soft and ready in less time.
