Cook's Tips
Select an avocado with a tight skin

Advertiser Staff

In selecting an avocado at the store, look for fruit that's not mushy. The skin should be tight and give a little when pressed. If your avocados, store-bought or home-grown, are not quite ripe, place them in a brown paper bag and keep in a cool place.
