How to check Avocado Ripeness:

Gently press the avocado with your thumb.If it's unyielding,like a rock,then it's not ready yet.Your finger easily sinks into the side,then it's overripe.What you want to feel is a slight yield when you press.Stay away from avocados that are too soft as they may already have roots sprouting inside them.
