Brilio.net - Avocado is loved by many people because of its soft texture and not too sweet taste. This fruit is often processed into various drinks, cakes, and sandwich fillings. In addition, avocado also has many health benefits. According to bbcgoodfood.com, avocado is good for the heart, can lower cholesterol, stabilize appetite, and maintain eye health.
When buying avocados , appearances can often be deceiving. Avocados that look ripe may be rotten, or unripe with hard, bland flesh. If you've already cut open an unripe avocado, don't worry.
Even though it has been cut, raw avocados can still be stored properly. With proper storage, avocados will ripen and become soft without rotting. An internet user through the YouTube account Pronto once shared how to ripen hard avocados in a video.
The avocado that has been cut must be tied first so that its position does not shift anywhere. The owner of YouTube Pronto explains, you can use a rubber band that has been washed clean. Also, make sure the rubber does not touch the flesh of the fruit at all.

Not only tied, avocados must also be wrapped using plastic wrap, aluminum wrap, or ziplock plastic. By wrapping like this, it helps protect avocados from exposure to air that can stimulate avocados to rot. Wrap tightly and place the avocado in a dry, clean, and room temperature place only.

Avocados stored like this can only last one to two days. Guaranteed, after the avocado is opened later, the texture of the fruit flesh will be softer, not bland, ripe, and not rotten. If the avocado is ripe, you can consume it according to taste.

Reported from avocadosfrommexico.com, in addition to using rubber and wrapped in plastic wrap as explained on YouTube Pronto, avocados can also be stored in other ways. For example, soaked in water and placed in an airtight container to be stored in the refrigerator or smeared with lemon water and olive oil. So, avocados can still be consumed later in a fresh and ripe state.
This upload on YouTube Pronto did not get many comments from netizens. However, apparently many are interested in seeing the trick. This upload has been viewed tens of thousands of times on YouTube.
