I have purchased an avocado twice in the past 3 weeks. The one I purchased a few weeks ago, I ended up throwing out because there was a lot of not yellow-green, but brown in it.

The one I just opened has a little of this brown - close to the skin. Is this good? This whole thing is a lot mushier than I would have thought it should be.

Ske,

Yes, it is probably a little overripe. The good thing about avocados when they've "gone bad" is that they smell HORRIBLE! You can definitely tell that they are bad. So give that puppy a sniff, and if it smells ok, enjoy it. I always just cut the bruised part off and enjoy the rest of it just as I would normally.


Blessings,

Lori

That isn't uncommon. It is over ripe or bruised (think of what bananas do). You can eat it. I like Bee's idea of making guac.

It's probably just a bit overripe. Use it in guacamole and enjoy!

I have had it when it has brown, but it is your choice.

Hope all is well with you. I have been keeping you in my thoughts!!
