How to choose good avocados
- Choose avocados with small, fresh stems because this indicates that the avocado is just ripe and not overripe.
- Select avocados that feel firm in hand. The skin should be taut and plump, without any strange marks, holes, or damage.
- Additionally, you just need to gently squeeze the avocado; if the flesh inside feels soft but firm, it’s good.
- You should also choose green-skinned avocados with speckles of yellow on the skin, as they tend to have a higher fat content and the flesh is creamier and richer. In contrast, avocados with purple skin are not as fatty and flavorful.
- Pay attention to select long avocados that feel firm in hand; these will have thick and tasty flesh.
How to choose good strawberries
- Choose large, bright red strawberries that are plump and still have their green caps, with fresh green leaves.
- Avoid choosing overripe strawberries as the inside may be dry and hollow.
- Steer clear of dull-looking, misshapen, and spoiled strawberries. Additionally, those with green outer skin and many spots should not be purchased as strawberries will not continue to ripen after being picked.
