If the shell is black and the avocado is soft, it is not recommended to buy it.

1. Avocado, also known as oil pear, is an evergreen tree belonging to the genus Persea genus of the Lauraceae family. It is a famous tropical fruit and one of the woody oil-bearing tree species. The kernel contains 8% to 29% oil. Its refined oil is a non-drying oil that is non-irritating, has low acidity, and can be preserved for a long time after emulsification. In addition to being edible, it is also one of the raw materials for high-end skin care products and spas.

2. You can eat avocado during breastfeeding. Avocado looks very much like a uterus, and it does have the effect of protecting the health of women's uterus and cervix. Studies show that women who eat an avocado a week can balance estrogen, lose excess weight from childbirth, and prevent cervical cancer. What’s amazing is that the growth period of avocado from flowering to mature fruit is exactly 9 months.

3. Because avocado has a soft and delicate taste like cheese, many people mistakenly believe that it is an unhealthy fruit with high cholesterol. In fact, avocados are indeed rich in fat, but 80% of them are beneficial monounsaturated fatty acids (oleic acid), which can reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in the human body and reduce the risk of heart disease. Avocados are very popular among consumers abroad because of their ability to lower cholesterol and blood lipids and protect the cardiovascular and liver systems.

4. How to choose avocado 1. If you are going to eat it immediately, choose those with black and green colors and a shiny and smooth surface. If the surface is obviously bumpy, there is already some wood inside, which affects the taste. 2. If you plan to eat it after a few days, you can choose green ones with a shell that is not too hard when squeezed and a shiny and smooth surface. 3. It is not recommended to buy black avocados with soft shells. It may be due to the temperature at which they are stored that makes them taste bad, or they have been left for a long time.
