ABC Everyday ABC Everyday/ By Lisa Marie Corso Once ripe, store your avocados in the fridge. ( Print text only Cancel Netball, cricket and soccer are all on-field sports we love, but there's also an off-field sport we take just as seriously: the search for the perfect avocado. We take our avocados home. We wait for them to ripen. We smear them on toast, put them in tacos, toss them in salads and even use them in desserts. Just like the best sporting superstars, the avocado is a team player. It's versatile, low maintenance and rarely disappoints. We spoke to CEO of Avocados Australia John Tyas, and cookbook author Clementine Day about how to select the best avocado on the shelf and what to do with them when you bring them home.
