Should you keep avocados in the fridge?

Avocados are a climacteric fruit, which means they continue to ripen after they are picked. The ideal temperature for ripening avocados is between 65 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit. If avocados are kept at a temperature below 55 degrees Fahrenheit, they will stop ripening and may develop chilling injury.

Therefore, if you want to ripen avocados quickly, you can store them at room temperature. However, if you want to slow down the ripening process or store avocados for a longer period of time, you can store them in the fridge.

Here are some additional tips for storing avocados:

* To ripen avocados quickly, place them in a paper bag with an apple or banana. The ethylene gas produced by these fruits will help to speed up the ripening process.

* If you want to store avocados for a longer period of time, wrap them individually in plastic wrap and place them in the fridge. This will help to prevent them from drying out.

*Avocados can be stored for up to 2 weeks in the fridge.
