Tip: When on sale, buy the hardest/most green Avocados you can find and store them in the fridge. You can store them for about 3 weeks, just be sure to cycle out the ones you need 2-4 days prior to using. They are ripe when they slightly indent when squeezed with your thumb. You can also pop the stem off the top and it should be light green underneath, not brown.
