Question 1

Accepted Answer

Avocado is a major dietary source of antioxidants. The total carotenoid concentrations are found to be greatest in the dark green fresh close to the peel. Avocados can help improve your cholesterol. Eating avocados with other veggies help in the better absorption of certain nutrients (carotenoids) of those veggies. For that, you don’t even need to use the full avocado. Just add half an avocado and you get an almost similar effect in terms of absorption of nutrients.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Avocado consumption is associated with better diet quality and nutrient intake and lower metabolic syndrome risk (high blood glucose, hypertension, obesity that leads to type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases) (Source: nutritionfacts.org) Avocado is mostly water (about 80%) and dietary fiber. Spreading avocado on your toast would be better than spreading butter or mayonnaise. It is natural and nutrition-dense. It is rich in vitamins, minerals, fat, carbohydrates, and protein. They do contain a lot of calories but you have to remember to eat them moderately. If not consumed moderately, even cashew can make you fat.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

When ripe, consume it in a day or two. If it is ripe and you are not consuming it, it is better to put it in the refrigerator. If you cut the avocado, put it in an air-tight container, it would last a couple of days in the refrigerator. Don’t put a raw avocado in the refrigerator. It won’t ripe.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

You can tell this from their skin color or the color of the peel. If it is green in color, it is not ripe and pulpy. It will be hard. Look for the avocados that are dark in color. The skin gets dark when it is ripe. But just looking at them is not enough. Press them gently and see how hard or soft they are and buy depending on when you are going to consume them. If they feel soft, they are ripe and need to be consumed in a day or two. Don’t buy overripe avocados, they go bad overnight and you don’t want that since they are expensive. Overripe avocados are very dark in color, close to black.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

The best way to ripen an avocado is to let it happen naturally. Put it on a sunny spot or on a warm spot on your kitchen counter. Leave it for a couple of days and it will be ripe. The number of days for ripening depends on how ripe it was when you bought it. So keep checking every day. You don’t want it to go bad since they are expensive.
