Store avocados for say a month
Is there any way to store avocados, so that if I buy them today from the supermarket (green and unripe), in about a month's time, I will have them just ready and ripe to eat?
[I don't think this is a duplicate, I've looked at the other avocado questions and none seem to answer this specific question.]
Best Answer
If you buy them hard, and put them in the refrigerator right away, you can probably get a month out of them. After having been refrigerated, they will take longer to ripen at room temperature. So check them two days before you want to use them. If they're still a bit hard, leave them in a paper bag on the counter for twice as long as you would unrefrigerated avocados of the same hardness.
