Kapanlagi.com - Avocado, a fruit that never fails to captivate hearts, often becomes the star in various dishes, from refreshing drinks to delicious accompaniments. However, challenges arise when we have to choose perfectly ripe avocados. Often, after being cut open, we find the flesh still hard and unripe. So, how can we keep these avocados fresh and prevent them from spoiling quickly?

Avocados are rich in nutrients that are beneficial for health, such as maintaining heart health and stabilizing appetite. Unfortunately, if not stored properly, cut avocados can spoil quickly before they have a chance to ripen. But don't worry! In an interesting video released from the Pronto YouTube account on Wednesday (30/10), there are effective tricks that we can apply. This trick will help cut avocados ripen perfectly and soft, without the risk of spoilage. Let's check out the tips and enjoy avocados to the fullest!

1. Securing Avocado Pieces with the Right Tie

In a video from the YouTube account Pronto, it is explained that this method can keep the avocado stable without touching its flesh, thus avoiding contamination. With the right tie, your avocado will remain safe and ready for optimal ripening. Good luck trying!

2. Wrapping Avocado to Protect from Air Exposure

Air is the main enemy that can accelerate the rotting process of this fruit. Therefore, use plastic wrap, aluminum foil, or a ziplock bag to protect avocado pieces from air exposure.

With this simple technique, the natural moisture of the avocado will be preserved, and its texture will remain perfect. Make sure there are no air gaps left when wrapping it, as a tight closure will hinder oxidation on the avocado's flesh, allowing the fruit to ripen slowly and maintain its tempting fresh flavor when opened later.

3. Storing in the Right Place and Ensuring a Stable Room Temperature

According to Avocados From Mexico, temperatures that are too high can cause avocados to spoil quickly, while temperatures that are too low hinder ripening. By maintaining this temperature balance, your avocados will ripen perfectly and be ready to enjoy in one to two days!

4. Storage Alternatives with Water Soaking Technique and Lemon Coating

Not only that, spreading the surface of the avocado flesh with lemon juice or olive oil is also a smart choice. Both of these ingredients serve to inhibit the oxidation process, keeping the color and texture of the avocado flesh fresh and appealing.
