The first few times I purchased avocados I didn't really pay attention to whether or not they were ripe. I constantly purchased unripened avocados and became frustrated when I'd slice into them and they were rock solid and not edible. Here's some general tips for shopping for avocados ! Depending on when you plan to use the avocado will determine whether to purchase ripe or unripened. If you are planning to use for a salad or some fresh guacamole same or next day, go for the ripe avocado.
If you aren't planning to use them right away or think they might sit for a few days, go unripened. A trick I learned is to place them in a paper bag to help ripen them a bit faster ! Shaves off a day or two !

![]() I remember first seeing a leek and thinking, "It's a giant green onion!". This lead me to believe I knew exactly how to use them as well and ended up eating dirt. Prepping for my Cream Potato and Leek soup recipe I was reintroduced to Leeks and how to properly use them. Follow my link below for the step by steps on leek preparation. ![]()
Now, you don't have to eat dirt :D You're welcome !
