West Pak Avocado, Inc.’s Post

In anticipation of the International Fresh Produce Association’s Foodservice Conference this week, here are four key storage and handling tips to maximize the premium quality of your avocados for your restaurant patrons: 1. Bring avocados inside the restaurant immediately upon arrival. Heat is the greatest factor in destroying quality. 2. Determine the stage of ripeness. Do not store avocados near the fryer. 3. When stacking boxes, place those with ripe avocados on top. 4. Store ripe avocados at 38-42 degrees Fahrenheit to slow ripening and avoid cooler damage.
