Avocados!

[mummashoppa]

Ripen avocados and prevent bruising by storing them in a dark place - inside a clean sock is ideal or wrapped in newspaper!

Oooh! Thanks for the tip! :)

Why the ! ?

If you're ripening an avocado I'd have thought you want to eat it pretty quickly rather than store it in socks and newspaper Putting them in a paper bag with an apple works because the natural ethylene gas given off by the apple triggers ripening. Prevent bruising by... erm... not bashing the avocado? Don't store once ripe or they just go black inside.

I just keep them in the fruit bowl next to the bananas until they are soft, then they go in the fridge
