If the skin is bright green, then the fruit is suitable for toast or salads.

There should be no damage on the fruit.

However, the peel itself may have roughness and unevenness.

Appreciate the softness and “listen” to the fruit

It is necessary to press lightly on the fruit.

If there are no dents left by fingers, then the product is ready to buy.

The avocado should also be shaken. If you hear a light knock from the kernel inside, this indicates ripeness.
