Soft like a banana in the skin? Or soft like hmmmm, cream cheese in a foil pack? What a stupid question, but I just can't seem to get it right. If all of the ones in the store are too ripe, is it the kind of fruit (or is it a veggie) that will continue to ripen? Would I refrigerate it while it ripens or leave it at room temperature? I REALLY want to eat more avocado but I always seem to end up having to throw them away. Thanks for your help!
