Ocado Baby Ripen at Home Hass Avocados

Ocado Ripen at Home Hass Avocados.

We source different varieties throughout the year to give you the best eating quality. Depending on variety, the skin will vary from dark purple/brown/black to medium/dark green, and from knobbly to smooth.

These ripen at home avocados are perfect for when you're shopping now but planning ahead. You can ripen them at different speeds, depending on how much time you have before use.

1. Room Temperature Ripening
Leave the avocados out on the counter at room temperature. This is the most natural way to ripen avocados, but it can take anywhere from a few days to a week, depending on how firm they were initially.

2. Paper Bag Ripening:
Place the avocados in a brown paper bag and loosely fold the top closed. The bag traps ethylene gas, which avocados naturally produce, speeding up the ripening process. This method usually takes 2-3 days.

3. Fruit-Assisted Ripening
Place the avocados in a paper bag with a banana or an apple. These fruits release even more ethylene gas, further accelerating ripening.
This is the fastest method, often ripening avocados in 1-2 days.

To test if an avocado is ripe, gently, squeeze the fruit in the palm of your hand and it should have some give beneath the skin. Once ripened to your liking, store in the fridge to slow down further ripening and keep them fresher for longer.

Avocados have an exquisitely rich, buttery-smooth flesh with a creamy texture that melts in your mouth. They have a mildly nutty flavour (similar to almonds or cashews), a hint of sweetness and earthy undertones.

As 80g is 1 of your 5 a day, their versatility makes them ideal for drinks and dishes. Blitz up in a blender for guacamole, avocado toast or to add to your smoothie. Chop or slice into into salads, sandwiches, tacos and burritos or, use as a base ingredient in plant based chocolate mousse or avocado ice cream.

Ripen in the fruit bowl and then keep refrigerated below 5°C.
