How do you choose a good avocado?

Working with fresh ingredients can make all the difference when cooking. There’s nothing worse than getting an avocado at the store, and finding it all brown inside. When looking for a good avocado, choose one that is bright green, and hard. It will continue to ripen over the next 2-3 days and be perfect.

If you need an avocado that day, choose one that is a bit darker green, but doesn’t “give” when you gently push with your thumb. If the tip is still green when you remove the stem, it’s a good avocado. If the tip is at all brown, then it’s gone bad.
