Step 1
The ripeness of an avocado is determined by the softness of the fruit. If the fruit is squeezed a little when pressed, then it can be considered mature. And if it is solid, then it must be given time to ripen. Interestingly, the avocado does not fully ripen when hanging from a tree. The fruit can hang for months and not spoil, but after it is picked it will ripen in a few days.
Step 2
The most useful avocado becomes after ripening. The calorie content of a ripe avocado is 208 Kcal, of which proteins - 2 g, fats - 20 g, carbohydrates - 7, 4 g. The pulp of a ripe fruit is similar to cream or butter with a nut-butter flavor. Avocados are rich in vitamins and minerals, especially vitamins B and E.

Step 3
Avocados are usually sold hard and unripe. Over the course of several weeks, the fruit matures and becomes soft to the point that pressing it with your finger leaves a dent. You can speed up the ripening process by adding an avocado with bananas or tomatoes. The fact is that when ripe, bananas and tomatoes release the natural gas ethylene, which contributes to the rapid ripening of all vegetables and fruits.
Step 4
Take a paper or plastic bag and put a few bananas or tomatoes and a few avocados in it. Tie the bag tightly and leave for a day in a room with a room temperature. After a day, press on the fetus and check its maturity. If it is still not soft enough, leave it to lie down for another day. After the avocado has lain in a bag for two days, it should be fully ripe and acquire all the qualities and benefits of a ripe fruit.

Ripe avocados can be spread on bread, added to soups and salads, and savory sauces can be made on its basis. It can be eaten raw, for this you need to cut the avocado along the circumference and turn the resulting halves in different directions. Peeled and cut avocados oxidize and change color, giving them an unattractive appearance and taste. To prevent this from happening, you need to add lemon or lime juice to the pulp of the avocado.
Step 6
Avocado seed and leaves contain toxic substances that are dangerous and can harm the human body. These substances cause allergic reactions and problems with the digestive system. If you rub an avocado seed, you get a pleasant flavor.
