Nutrition & Health
Avocados are high in monounsaturated fats, the “good” type of fat linked to several health benefits. Fat from avocados can help the body better absorb vitamins A, D, K, and E from other foods. This amazing fruit is also a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals, including vitamin K, folate, and copper.

HOW TO SELECT, STORE, & HANDLE
Avocado ripeness is not always indicated by the fruit’s color. To determine ripeness, place avocado in the palm of your hand and gently squeeze. Refrain from applying pressure with your fingertips as this can cause bruising. If the avocado gives to firm gentle pressure, then it is ripe and ready to eat.
If you follow these steps and the avocado does not give to gentle pressure, it is considered “firm” and will ripen in a couple of days.
To slow down the ripening process, place ripe avocados in the refrigerator.
If you have half an avocado left over, keep the pit attached to that side, seal in an airtight container, and store in the refrigerator until later use.
