To choose ripe avocados, gently squeeze the fruit; a ripe avocado should feel slightly soft yet firm, similar to the flesh of your palm when making a fist. Avoid avocados that are too mushy or show bruising, as they may be overripe[1][2].

Additionally, pay attention to the color of the skin—ripe avocados typically have a dark green or blackish tone. Checking the stem is also helpful; if it easily pops off, it indicates ripeness. Smelling the avocado can provide an extra clue; a pleasant, nutty aroma suggests it is ready to eat[2].
