All About Avocado: Tips & Inspiration



Avocado Recipes FAQ
How many calories are in an avocado?
A medium avocado contains about 320 calories, mostly from healthy monounsaturated fats that support heart health. It's a calorie-dense fruit but nutrient-rich.
How do I ripen an avocado?
Leave avocados at room temperature for a few days. They’re ripe when they yield slightly to gentle pressure and feel soft but not mushy. Alternatively, place the avocado in a paper bag with a ripe banana to speed up the ripening process.
How can I tell if an avocado is ripe?
Check if the stem nub at the top comes off easily and reveals green flesh underneath. A gentle squeeze should also indicate softness without dents.
How do I stop avocados from going brown?
Brush or sprinkle lemon or lime juice over the cut surface of the avocado to slow oxidation. Storing with the pit attached can also help preserve freshness.
How should I store an avocado?
Keep unripe avocados at room temperature. Once ripe, store them in the refrigerator to slow further ripening and extend freshness.
Is avocado a fruit or a vegetable?
Avocado is technically a fruit—more precisely, a single-seeded berry. However, it's often used like a vegetable in savoury dishes.
What does avocado taste like?
Avocado has a mild, buttery taste with a creamy texture and subtle nutty notes. Its flavour pairs well with both sweet and savoury dishes.
How do I eat an avocado?
Slice the avocado lengthwise, twist to separate the halves, remove the stone, and scoop out the flesh to eat raw or use in recipes.
How can I serve avocado?
Serve avocado mashed on toast, diced in salads, blended into smoothies, or as a creamy topping for protein dishes like chicken or salmon.
Can you cook avocado?
While avocado is best enjoyed raw, it can be lightly grilled, baked, or added to warm dishes. Keep in mind that heat changes its texture and flavour.
