Produce help

How do you pick a good avocado? The last two grocery trips I have picked an avocado that I thought was pretty firm and the color was a dark dark green, almost black. When I got it home and cut into it it was disgusting. Like mushy and black in some spots. Both times! The second time I could chalk it up to waiting almost a week to cut into it. 

I think my grocery store needs to have little signs near each fruit and veggie explaining how to pick each particular item - they'd sell more if you ask me.

Re: Produce help

  • If I am using it that day, I go for one that is soft to touch, but doesn't mush when touched.

    If I am using it in a few days I go with a firmer one.

  • Is it possible to be too firm?

  • If it is hard as a rock, it isn't ripe yet. My ripe ones are normally a really dark green/black color. Do you have a Trader Joes or Whole Foods near you? Their staff has been a great help with me learning how to pick my produce.

  • i suck at choosing produce which is why if if james doesn't do ALL of the shopping, he'll just do the produce and i do the regular stuff.  seriously, if i ever buy produce, i am made fun of :P

    he said you want it to be semi-soft.

  • I have no suggestions about picking produce. Dh does all of the grocery shopping since he is home one day during the week and the stores are less crowded.

    But I would totally suggest the sign for how to choose the produce to your grocery store.  You never know they might think its a great idea too!
