AVOCADOs - Purchasing Tips

Avocados are a popular food that provides good nutrition and has a healthy Fat content. Here are some tips on how to Select and Purchase the best Avocados.

Purchasing:  When purchasing; if the Avocado is soft to the touch then it is ready to use, but if it is firm and hard then it should be allowed to ripen at room temperature.
Hass Avocados show their ripeness by not only yielding to pressure, but by changing color from green to a purple-black color. 
The other Green-skinned varieties do not change color when ripe.   
Firm Avocados will ripen at room temperature or even faster if stored in a paper bag at room temperature.   
Avocados will not ripen when cut. 
Large avocados are generally lower in fat but also have a less rich flavor than their smaller counterparts.

This is an excerpt from my book FOOD FACTS available on Amazon..

CARROTS - TIPS - Selection & Storage

Carrots are a popular food, and the following tips should help you select, care for and store them properly for a long tasty life.
 Selection: When selecting Carrots, look for smooth roots, as they will be easy to wash and will not require peeling. Look for uniform color, with no interior zoning.
When selecting baby carrots, be sure that you are selecting a mature hybrid variety, and not just a small immature regular carrot, as they will not be as sweet and flavorful.
If your carrots have aged, cut them lengthwise and remove the woody core for use in a tastier meal.
Storage: When storing Carrots, detach the tops if they are still on the carrots
Do not store carrots near Apples. Apples give off ethylene gas, which will turn the carrots bitter.
