Glassing Avocados.

[golddigger14s]

You may have heard about "Glassing Eggs." But I ran across glassing avocados. I put an avocado in a Tupperware container with water and put it in the fridge and it lasted for more than a week. I will do a more scientific post with exact numbers later, but it seems to work.

I put avocados in the fridge but not in any container and they will last for over a month if they were hard when I stuck them in there.
Yes sometimes the mesocarp will be darker in spots but not any off flavor from it like ones set on the counter.

I like to cut them all the way around in 1/2 and squeeze the seed out.
Then squeeze the outer shell together to get the mesocarp out of the inside.
Of course ripe ones for that.
Creole seasoning, onion powder and garlic powder is what I use to make guacamole. And a dollop of salsa.

I will do the water, glass, fridge method against just in the fridge and see what happens.
Thanks @golddigger14s

My wife has been doing this, helps them last a lot longer.

The last one had some bruising, I suspect the time it had outside the water to retrieve the 2nd to last compromised it. Do them separatly for best results ? Haven't tried yet.

I thought this would be a thread about scanning the horizon with binoculars in search of the elusive avocado…

We just walk out in the yard and pick them off the trees. Bacon or Haas

I thought it was going to be about encasing them in fiberglass. Seems like an appropriate use of alligator pears.

Avocado must be completely covered by the water?

Yes

The experiment continues. Three weeks after purchase.
