How to Make California Avocados Stay Fresh Longer
There’s still time in the season to enjoy fresh California Avocados – but if you need, extend the life of your ripe, ethically sourced California Avocado and keep it fresh for a few extra days. Store it in the crisper drawer of your fridge for up to one week, as the coolness slows the ripening process.
California Avocado Tip: Ripe, fresh California Avocados are optimal for taste and texture, but when you find yourself with too many ripe avocados and don’t want them to go to waste, try freezing them for later. You can freeze them whole or mash the fruit, mix with a little lemon juice and store in an airtight, resealable bag.
