It is important to note that avocados can become bitter when cooked or heated due to chemical changes that occur in the compounds in them. Avocados contain phenolic compounds that, when heated, can break down into more bitter compounds.
In addition to chemical changes, heating can also change the texture of avocados, making them softer and affecting the overall taste, including increasing bitterness and fading the green color. To avoid this bitter taste, avocados should not be cooked or heated for too long.
If you want to add avocado to a hot dish, it is best done at the end of cooking. Or you can also use avocado as a complement after the dish is finished cooking.
