Avocado
Many people, when buying avocados, expect the fruits to ripen, acquire a richer taste, and become soft. However, in the refrigerator, the ripening process stops, causing the fruit to harden.
Proper storage of avocados is essential for them to reach their full, creamy texture and flavor. Refrigeration halts the natural ripening process, leading to a firmer, less flavorful fruit. For the best results, keep avocados at room temperature until they ripen.
