All true, although the article contains no revelations.

But one important point that is somehow overlooked is that for taste, brown spot don't matter, at all.

Depending on your guests, the preparation you're making, and your love of perfection, brown spots can maybe alter the looks of your dish. But they taste the same.

It would be a great error to prefer an unripe avocado over an over-ripe one for aesthetic reasons only. Unripe avocados are inedible. Over-ripe ones (within reason) taste perfect.



Definitely not my experience - the flavour definitely deteriorates too, often becoming quite bitter.

Grew up with a grove of trees, I always felt the opposite. Over-ripe can have a definite funk. With unripe, it's mostly the texture that is wrong. It's not ideal, but you can make a perfectly serviceable guac with nearly ripe avos.

100% agree
