All About the Avocado

How to: Avocado - FAQs

How many calories are in an avocado?

Avocados are an excellent source of good fat, though this does make them high in calories. An average avocado has 320 calories, but this is overshadowed by its impressive 20g of monounsaturated fat.

How to ripen avocado?

Avocados are best eaten when they are perfectly ripe. To achieve this, the HelloFresh culinary team suggest leaving them at room temperature for up to a week and then squeezing them gently from time to time. When ripe, avocados should feel slightly soft when you apply some pressure.

How to tell if an avocado is ripe?

If the nub at the top of the avocado comes off very easily, that’s a good sign that the avocado is ripe. You can double-check by looking at the small divot left when the cap is removed. If the flesh underneath is green, the fruit is ready to eat.

How to stop avocado going brown?

Once cut open, avocados brown very quickly and become unappealing to the eye and the tongue. Try squeezing lemon juice on the flesh to halt this process—the same trick works for guacamole, too!

How to store avocado?

As a general rule, store avocados at room temperature, such as in a fruit bowl. If you want avocados to ripen, do not place them in the fridge. Only ripe avocados should be chilled in order to slow down the ripening process.
