Keeping your avocados fresh for longer 🥑 Struggling to keep your avocados fresh and green? With these simple tips, you can ensure your avocados stay fresh and vibrant, enhancing the quality of dishes served to your customers: After being sliced open, avocados will naturally oxidize and turn brown over time as they are exposed to air. Learning how to keep your cut avocados looking their naturally yellow-green hue is key. Here are some tips: 1. Sprinkle with Lemon or Lime Juice: This acidic agent can help slow down the oxidation process. Whether it's cut, mashed, or sliced, a little citrus can go a long way! 2. Airtight Storage: Place your avocado in an airtight container or tightly cover it with clear plastic wrap to minimize air exposure. 3. Refrigerate: Store your airtight avocado in the refrigerator for up to one day, then use. Celebrate Foodservice Week with us by optimizing your kitchen practices and delighting your patrons with fresh, delicious avocados. 🥑🎉 Also, don’t miss the chance to connect with West Pak this week at International Fresh Produce Association’s The Food Service Conference in Monterey.

In anticipation of the International Fresh Produce Association’s Foodservice Conference this week, here are four key storage and handling tips to maximize the premium quality of your avocados for your restaurant patrons: 1. Bring avocados inside the restaurant immediately upon arrival. Heat is the greatest factor in destroying quality. 2. Determine the stage of ripeness. Do not store avocados near the fryer. 3. When stacking boxes, place those with ripe avocados on top. 4. Store ripe avocados at 38-42 degrees Fahrenheit to slow ripening and avoid cooler damage.
