Tricks to a perfectly preserved avocado and a delicious breakfast
Perfectly ripe avocado is a delicacy that is not easy to preserve without darkening and changing the taste. But there is a solution to this problem as well.
The avocado tree originated from south-central Mexico. This tree is classified as a member of the flowering plant from the family Lauraceae. The fruit of the plant is also called an avocado. The fruit is a large berry that contains a single large seed. There are a few sorts of avocados. Some of them have green, some brown, purplish, or black skin when ripe. They can be pear-shaped, egg-shaped, or spherical. Commercially, the avocado is picked while he is still immature.
Do you love avocados? But does it demotivate you that a perfectly ripe fruit instantly turns into a brown, inedible specimen? You are not the only one. And to help you not to toss the darkened halves of the avocado, the one you put away to enjoy for breakfast, with toast and poached egg, we found two great tips.
1. Coat the rest of the avocado
Coat the rest avocado with olive oil. Leave half of the avocado you want to store for later in the peel and coat the cut part with olive oil. This stops the oxidation process, which is the reason why your avocado changes its taste and color from perfect green to unwanted brown.
2. Wrap the avocado in lettuce
Lettuce leaves, especially the outer, firmer ones, could become the main solution for preserving avocados. It is enough to wrap the fruit with a clean and dry lettuce leaf and store it in the refrigerator. Thus prepared avocado will retain its natural color and taste for up to several days.
An idea for a great breakfast - eggs in avocado
You can also use the preserved half of the avocado to prepare an excellent breakfast - eggs fried in avocado. It is enough to dig out half of the avocado a little more and add the broken egg. Bake the avocados in an oven preheated to 220 degrees for about 20 minutes. Season the roast with coarse salt, add a little pepper and red pepper flakes if desired, or season with freshly chopped parsley or chives. Enjoy!
