Choosing Avocados
Avocados don’t ripen on trees, they ripen and soften after harvest. Their skin color changes as it ripens from a dark green (raw) to black (ripened). This color helps in the initial visual selection, although it’s not the best indicator. Ultimately, the fruit consistency determines the ripeness.
Hence,
Skin color + Feel =Choosing Avocados
- Green + Firm = Raw/ Unripe
- Greenish black (color may vary) + breaking consistency = Almost Ripe
- Blackish Green + lightly soft (but not mushy) = Ripen, Ready to eat
- Black/ Blackish Green + mushy with indentations = over ripe
If you want to purchase Avocados well in advance, then it’s better to go with raw/ unripe fruits. They take around 4-5 days to ripen.

Avocado Chutney
Equipment
- Food Processor
Ingredients
- 1 Avocado
- 1 cup fresh cilantro packed
- 2 Green Onions or spring onions
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1/4 cup Coconut Milk
- 3 tbsp Fresh Lemon juice
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Open, clean and wash cilantro bunch. Retain tender & thin stems and discard any thick stems. Rinse and soak them in water for 5 minutes. Soaking allows the dirt on the leaves to settle at the bottom. After 5 minutes, gently remove the leaves (& stems) from water (without disturbing the dirt settled below) and add them to the food processor or grinder jar.
- In the meantime, pit the avocado, scoop out and add to food processor.
- Add fresh lemon juice, green onions, garlic, coconut milk & salt.
- Pulse until you get a smooth consistency.
- Transfer to an airtight jar and serve immediately. Refrigerate leftovers for upto 5 days.
