- Avoid choosing eggs with overly shiny shells, which feel like they have cracks as they are often old eggs that have been stored for too long.
- Check if the eggs are fresh by gently shaking them; if there is no movement inside, then they are definitely fresh; if the eggs show movement, it indicates that they are old.

How to choose avocados for a delicious salad
- Choose avocados with small stems, still fresh, as this means the avocado is just ripe and not overripe.
- Select avocados that feel firm in your hand. The outer skin should be plump, with no unusual marks, holes, or damage.
- Additionally, you just need to gently squeeze to feel that the flesh inside is soft but firm.
- You should also choose green-skinned avocados with small yellow specks on the skin because they will have a higher fat content, with creamier and richer flesh. In contrast, avocados with purple skin will not be as fatty and tasty. Pay attention to choosing long avocados that feel firm in your hand, as they will have thicker and tastier flesh.
Tips for Ripening Avocados Naturally
You should let avocados ripen naturally at room temperature of about 23 – 25 degrees Celsius, in direct contact with the ground, and do not put avocados in plastic bags. Placing avocados next to bananas can help them ripen evenly, faster, and taste better.
How to Quickly Peel an Avocado Without Mashing It
Use a knife to cut lengthwise from the top of the avocado down to separate the avocado in half.
Then use the knife to make a light incision around the avocado pit and twist to remove the pit.
Continue cutting lengthwise from the top to the bottom of the half avocado that was separated initially. Use your hands to peel the avocado like you would peel an orange or tangerine, and you’re done.
