Avocado Smoothie — Cooking Secrets

• To choose a ripe avocado, you should pay attention to its appearance. The peel should be free of dents, scratches and cracks.

• Do not buy too soft or hard fruit. In the first case, the berry is overripe, in the second — unripe. The ideal fruit: the surface lends itself to pressure with a finger, while it is not wooden.

• You can also check the ripeness of the fruit as follows. Remove the stalk and look at its place: if it is green or yellow, then the avocado is ripe in moderation and it can be purchased, if it is brown, the berry is very overripe.

• If you bought an unripe fruit, let it ripen at room temperature for 3-7 days. To speed up this process, wrap an avocado in a bag of fruits that release ethylene. This will speed up its maturation. Apples and bananas will do.

• To cut an avocado, cut it with a sharp knife along the entire diameter, bringing the blade to the bone. After the fruit is divided into two halves, slightly twisting the incised two parts. If the fruit is ripe enough, then this will be easy to do. Then remove the stone and clean the fruit. Ideal ripe fruit, cut across, then squeeze the stone out without using a knife.

• If you do not use the whole avocado, then do not remove the pit from it. So the fruit will stay fresh longer and retain a maximum of useful properties.

• So that the fruit retains its color and does not oxidize, sprinkle its pulp with lemon or lime juice.
