sports going on, the dip, sales increase. and let me tell you why use that for the dip. when you buy them, look at my hair, nice color all the way around. nice and dark. free from any green. if there's a little bit of green, that's okay. but if you bring them home and expect them to ripen, foot chance it's not going to happen. when you bring them home, store them on the counter. not fridge. in the refrigerator, they'll turn black. and the reason why they are great in dips and salsas is the high oil content. the green variety, the other avocados like the bacon variety and the ones out of florida, they have more of a water-base to them than oil. so there you go. in the market, great pricing this time of year too which isn't bad.
