Selection and Storage: Markets feature 2 varieties – the Hass and the Fuerte. The Hass has a dark, pebbly skin, the Fuerte has a smooth, thin, green skin. A ripe avocado will yield to gentle pressure. To speed the ripening process, place avocados in a paper bag with an apple. Poke a few holes in bag and store at room temperature.
Preparation: Ripe avocados will peel easily. Slice in half lengthwise and remove skin. To remove the large pit, stick a fork in the pit and twist. Avocados discolor quickly, so rub lemon juice on the surface or cut at the last moment.
