How to Tell If Avocado Has Gone Bad

Spoilage Indicators

•Overly soft texture with indentations that don't bounce back
•Dark, sunken spots on the skin
•Gray or brown discoloration of the flesh
•Rancid or sour smell

Food Safety Tips

•Wash avocados before cutting to prevent transferring bacteria from the skin to the flesh
•Discard avocados with mold or an off smell
•Refrigerate cut avocados promptly
•Consume prepared avocado dishes like guacamole within 24 hours

Preparation Tips

•To check ripeness, gently press the skin - it should yield slightly but not feel mushy
•Cut around the pit from stem to bottom, then twist the halves to separate
•Remove the pit by carefully striking it with a knife and twisting, or use a spoon to scoop it out
•Scoop out the flesh with a spoon or slice while still in the skin and then peel
•To prevent browning, sprinkle cut surfaces with lemon or lime juice
