Avocados normally arrive semi-ripe and need to soften (sometimes change colour to reddish tinges) before they are ready to be consumed.

Once ripe, cut lengthwise into half to reveal a large seed surrounded by yellow-green flesh. Scoop out the flesh and use as desired.

Look up recipes for Avocado toast and Guacomole, add to salads, or just whip a smoothie with Bananas.

The avocados are a global favourite with origins in Mexico. They are very popular for their creamy buttery flavour, which also gives them their alternate name 'Butterfruit'.

Do no refrigerate. They are best stored in ambient temperature.
