✸The Busy Abuelita Note:
Selecting an avocado -
- Ripe avocados will have a skin color that is dark green to nearly black.
- Gently squeeze the avocado. Is the avocado firm? Does it yield to firm, gentle pressure? Ripe avocados should yield to gentle pressure without leaving indentations or feeling mushy.
