[WIN] The humble avo an everyday hero
Desperately want to eat an avo, but its still not ripe? Read here for easy tricks to quickly ripen an avo.
Avocados are renowned for their versatility and, in their simplest form, the pairing options are endless – add them to salads, sandwiches, wraps and smoothies. They’re also delicious as a guacamole.
Avocados are packed with countless health and nutritional benefits, including improving your vision, assisting your liver to deal with damage, maintaining healthy skin and combatting high cholesterol. They’re rich in anti-aging and anti-oxidant elements too.
Raymond Petrowski, store manager at Food Lover’s Market Krugersdorp, shares some tips and tricks on how to speed up the ripening process of avocados:
• Place unripe avocados in a brown paper bag with a banana. Close the bag and store in a dry place with enough light for 18–24 hours.
• To ripen an avocado in ten minutes, tightly wrap the unripe avocado in tin foil. Place it on a baking tray in the oven, with the oven set to approximately 100 degrees Celsius. Keep a close eye on it for 10 minutes.
