Determining if an avocado is ripe can be tricky! Generally, a ripe avocado will yield slightly when you apply gentle pressure at the stem end. The skin may also be dark green to black, depending on the variety. Have you ever tried the trick of removing the small stem cap? If it's green underneath, it’s usually ripe! What plans do you have for your avocado once it's ready? Perhaps a delicious guacamole or a fresh salad?
