If you’re looking for sturdy produce that stays good for long periods of time, avocados are not it. One
minute they’re sitting on your counter ripe and ready to eat, then you look away for a second and
they’re completely rotten, destined for the trash. To say this is frustrating would be an
understatement. But what if I told you there’s a way you can keep them perfectly green for months?
Yes, you read that correctly. Months. A DVE RT I SE M E NT
Bethany Ugarte of Lilsipper recently shared a hack on Instagram that’s dropping jaws around the
world. You probably know you can freeze mashed avocado in an ice cube tray for later use, but
evidently you can freeze whole avocados, too—peel and all. After running an avocado that had been
frozen for four months under some hot water then letting it sit out on the counter for a bit, she cut it
open to reveal a perfectly-ripe fruit that looked like she just purchased it from the grocery store.

Right now, her video has nearly 150,000 views and more than 1,200 comments—and they’re only
growing, so clearly I’m not the only one who’s completely shocked by this discovery. In fact, the
frozen avocado she peeled months later was a prettier, more appetizing shade of green than the last
fresh one I cut into. It looks like it’s time to make some more room in the freezer.

If you want to keep your beloved avocados ripe for months, here how Ugarte recommends going
about it.

How to keep your avocados fresh for months

1. Put your avocados in the freezer when they’re at your desired level of ripeness.
2. When you’re ready to use it, run it under hot water and let it sit on your counter for around 30
minutes.
3. Once you can press your fingers into it, cut the skin in quarters with a knife.
4. When you peel away the skin, you’ll find a fresh, ripe, and creamy avocado you can use in any
dish you want.

These are all the benefits of avocados you should know about:
