Life Hack: Finding your one true (avocado) love

Okay stop us if you've heard this one before...

Sophie White

We all love a good avocado; they are so creamy and delicious. You can slice them, you can mash them, you can sing songs of adoration to them. The only problem with our love for this magical fruit is that so often it is unrequited. We get that gorgeous little beast back from the supermarket only to find it doesn’t love us back. The bastard is rotten to the core (not unlike other past unrequited loves of ours).

So here is an amazing trick to always finding the perfect avocado.

You see the little stem on the end of the fruit?

Pinch this off. If the avocado is bad, it will be brown where the stem was.

If it is nice and green where the stem was then you’ve got yourself a keeper.
