Easy Ways to Enjoy Avocados

Avocados are perfect with breakfast, lunch and dinner. Add them to toast or eggs for a nourishing start to the day. Slice them into salads to bring creaminess or mash them into spreads or dips to serve with bread, vegetables or grilled dishes. Their mild flavour pairs well with lemon, herbs and spices, making them easy to season and enjoy in many different ways.

How to ripen avos quickly? Place a banana next to them. What's the science behind it? The gas reaction involved in ripening avocados with bananas is caused by ethylene gas (𝐶2𝐻4), a natural plant hormone. Bananas produce high levels of ethylene, which triggers ripening.
