What to do with avocado so that it is not hard: a simple life hack

It's not always easy to pick out a tasty and ripe avocado by eye. At first glance, a product that has a rich dark green color and soft texture may turn out to be hard. But if you do buy such an avocado, the situation can be remedied.

Food blogger Maryna Pecarina (marina_pecarina) shared a life hack on how to make a soft avocado from a hard one on her Instagram page.

If you bought an unripe, hard avocado, put it in a cloth bag or a bag with apples and within a few days you will have an avocado with the perfect consistency.

This avocado can be used to make a delicious and healthy salad. The idea was published on the Instagram page of food blogger Svitlana Levytska (lanas_diet).
