Storage
Never keep hard, unripe avocados in the fridge - they will not ripen.
Prepare & Use
Ripening of Avocados:
To test if an avocado is ripe, gently, squeeze the fruit in the palm of your hand.
Ripe, ready-to-eat fruit will be firm but will yield to gentle pressure.
Ripe avocados will keep for 2-3 days, store them in the fridge to prevent over-ripening.
To accelerate ripening, place avocados in the fruit bowl alongside other fruit or, better still, put them into a paper bag with a banana or a kiwifruit.
The ethylene gas released by the other fruit will stimulate the avocados to ripen more quickly.
How to Prepare an Avocado:
1. Cut all the way around the avocado stone.
2. Twist the 2 halves of the avocado apart.
3. Use a spoon to scoop out the stone.
4. Score along the skin and peel off in strips.

Don't wast your money
These arrived today and would make good bullets. I know they are ripen at home, but this is silly, they are so small they clearly haven't even finished growing! I will pay more for bigger and riper ones next time and not bother with these again.

These take forever to ripen!
I know this are 'ripen at home' avocados but the last lot took three weeks to go from bullet-hard to just soft enough. Perhaps it was a slow-ripening batch but I am not sure I would buy these again.

Poor
The last two times I've ordered, they have been puny puny and never ripened very well. Very disappointing.

wish I had read the reviews!
As others have said, these are tiny and don't ripen. Absolutely inedible.

Prawn Cocktail–style Wraps with Avocado and Red Pepper Mayonnaise
Cook's Note To cut up a pepper with minimum effort, slice the top and bottom off, then cut a lengthways slit in one side – you can now “unroll” the pepper, and simply slice away the seeds and membrane. Cut the flesh into fine slices, then dice. Variation Add some chopped fresh mango to jazz things up a little.

Smoked Trout with Pickled Cucumber and Minted Yogurt
Cook's Note Slightly bitter leaves such as curly endive are perfect for this salad. Try to buy salad leaves loose, rather than already packaged in bags, as they will keep for far longer.

Avocado and Cucumber Soup
Use really ripe avocados to give this soup a rich green colour. If you want to take it a step further, add some cooked lobster or flaky crabmeat, or perhaps one or two Dublin Bay prawns, to the garnish. The perfect cooling starter, this soup can also be served as a light summer lunch with a crusty baguette.

Never Ripen!
As everyone else has said, these end up going wrinkly and black while the inside is still too tough to eat, I won't buy these again, but will no doubt have to pay more for ripe ones!
