TIPS and FACTS: Avocados

One avocado provides your body with vitamins A, C, E, K and B6, along with an enormous amount of potassium and “healthy” fat.

Keeping it in the refrigerator will slow down the ripening process, while putting it in a paper bag with a ripe apple will speed up the process. 

Avocados turn brown from oxidation. To prevent browning in an open avocado, top with an acid, usually lemon juice, cover with plastic wrap to seal off as much air as possible and keep in the fridge.
