When to Eat an Avocado

1. Unripe = not ready yet
Bright green and super firm means leave it a little longer.

2. Barely ripe = perfect for dicing & chopping.
It’s still a bit firm, but not rock-hard. Great for salads when you want neat cubes.

3. Ripe = creamy and best overall
Gently soft when you press it, and it feels buttery inside. This is peak avocado time 

4. Overripe = still usable (sometimes)
Very soft and darker skin can mean it’s best for smoothies or mixing into something.
Quick check: if it smells weird… it’s done.
