How Do You Check An Avocado For Ripeness?
I am not having much luck with (supermarket) avocados.I bought two on Thursday,the first was rock hard on that day,but the second was just ripe enough.How do you check them for ripeness?Please don't tell me to squeeze them, and that they should give like soft butter,that doesn't work.All the ones I tried were rock hard,but some (when I used them) were soft enough to eat,so it's a bit of a lottery.I tried a suggestion,of putting them in a plastic bah with a banana,the gas given off by the fruit, is supposed to quickly ripen the avocado.Sometimes it's OK, and other times the avocado goes rotten quickly.
Please help me,as I do love avocados.

I love avocados as well, but have almost given up eating them because of the effects of growing them on the habitats of orang-utans to name but one specis. I've had 2 this year and there may be a third at Christmas.
If you do have an avocado - try planting the nut (don't let it dry out). You will soon have a handsome plant which helps with CO2 digestion etc..
