A penchant for avocados might be the hallmark of a millennial but we can’t help it, it’s just oh so good.
The only annoying thing is when it turns brown and ruins our dreams of smashed avo on toast.
But one savvy mum has shared a trick she swears by and it involves freezing the stuff.
The Australian woman, who is the founder of popular Facebook page Slow Cooker Recipes & Tips posted a picture of sliced avocados lined on a baking tray.
She cut into the green fruit, de-seeded it and chopped it into slices, leaving it on parchment paper and then freezing it.
Once frozen, she then takes it out and places it into freezer bags. The poster revealed that she’ll leave it out to thaw for a bit and then grab however much she needs for the day.
And because they’re frozen, the individual slices don’t stick together and form one lumpy bit of avo.
Good news if you’re always left with mushy brown avocado you forgot to eat.
Some people believed the fruit will continue to ripen but the poster assured that the trick has helped her keep them green year-round.
She wrote: ‘This is a little trick I’ve been doing with avocado’.
‘I heard that you can buy it frozen, but was never able to find it anywhere. So I thought, “why not freeze it myself?”. It works amazingly well.
‘I buy a fresh avocado, cut it in half, take the pit out and slice it. You can cut it into chunks too,’ she said.
‘I lay it out on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze.’
She advised only freezing for a day and then taking it out, ready to be consumed slice by slice or all at once if you’re really feeling some guac and the like.
‘A lot of you like avocado in smoothies,’ she continued. ‘I have been letting it thaw and using it on sandwiches or with eggs. It stays nice and green as well.’
Others said they’d be trying the trick. One person wrote: ‘This will change my life! I bought frozen avocado and it was horrible.’
Another chimed: ‘This is the solution to my ever squishy avocado issues’.
We’ll definitely be giving it a try.
