How to Store
Storage
– Store immediately in the coldest part of the walk-in cooler (Typically, this will be on a lower shelf and farthest away from the entry door). Kitchen heat will continue the ripening process and start decay.
– Store in the original sealed carton, away from drafts from the cooler fan. This fruit is susceptible to dehydration.
– Do not stack heavy objects on top of the case. This could cause crushing damage.
– Under-ripe fruit may be stored at 68-74 degrees to ripen. If a proper area is not available, the case may be stored in a plastic bag in the warmest part of the cooler.
– Keep ripe fruits away from ethylene-producing fruit.
Handling
– Follow good rotation practices, first shipments received should be used first.
– Handle carefully, do not drop. Ripe avocados will bruise easily.
Preparation
– Prepare as needed. Try not to use the product from the previous day.
– Use the entire piece of fruit in prep. Cut fruit will brown almost immediately.
