Avocado is a fruit that is rich in nutrients, especially antioxidants that can prevent cancer and many other diseases. To take advantage of the nutritional benefits of avocados, people need to pay attention to how to choose and preserve them.
Avocados come in over 500 different varieties. This is a plant that occurs in many tropical regions around the world. Depending on the living environment, avocados will develop into separate types.
Leaving avocado meat exposed to air for too long will cause it to ripen quickly, reducing its deliciousness and nutritional content |
However, regardless of the type, to get the most out of avocado’s nutritional benefits, people need to avoid the following:
Don’t know how to choose butter
One of the most common mistakes is not knowing how to choose avocados. Many people often touch avocados and choose soft ones because they are ripe. However, this method is only correct if the buyer wants to eat immediately. If left for too long, the avocado will overripe and reduce its nutritional content.
To choose the right avocado, buyers need to rely on four factors: colour, smell, avocado texture and hardness. Specifically, the darker the avocado, the riper it is. When squeezed, the avocado is firm, firm, and has no dents or mushy texture. With purchased fruit, prioritize eating ripe fruit first. These are fragrant fruits that easily melt in the mouth.
Stored incorrectly
After purchasing, the way we preserve it will greatly affect the quality of the avocado. If you want to preserve avocados for as long as possible, you should avoid storing them with other ripe fruits. Check their softness every day and eat the ripe ones immediately.
In addition, research by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) shows that about 1% of avocados have salmonella bacteria and 18% have Listeria monocytogenes bacteria on the skin. Therefore, it is necessary to wash it before storing it.
Do not expose avocado flesh to air
The flesh inside an avocado will ripen faster if exposed to air. Therefore, if you want to check whether the avocado is ripe or not, do not cut the avocado horizontally, but cut a small piece from the stem.
Cutting avocados crosswise is only applicable when the eater wants them to ripen quickly to enjoy. If not eaten immediately, avocado will easily spoil and reduce its deliciousness and nutritional content.
Does not store well after cutting avocado
When people don’t eat it all, they often don’t preserve the leftover avocados well, making them easily spoiled. If you only eat half an avocado, preserve the other half by sprinkling a little lemon juice on the part of the avocado flesh exposed to air. This will help keep the butter longer.
Another way is to use olive oil instead of lemon juice. Whether you’re using lemon or olive oil, be sure to use buttermilk wrap before putting them in the fridge. In case of eating during the day, there is no need to use food wrap.
