alot of my friends have never eaten, much less shopped for an avocado,I'm sure there are alot of you with the same delema,so here are a few tips;always select one that are dark green,and without bruises.A ripe avocado is firm to the touch,but not hard.Be careful to avoid any the are too ripe(mushy)DO NOT BUY AVOCADO WITH BROWN SPOTS!
