Pro tips

To keep it, we keep it at room temperature 4-5 days, to let it ripen and we put it in the fridge, 2 to 3 days, if it is already ripe. To keep half an avocado cut, keep the part with the pit, sprinkle it with lemon juice to prevent it from darkening, wrap it in cling film and hop in the fridge.
To make it easier to peel, we can roll it a little in the hands beforehand.
As soon as it is cut, we sprinkle it generously with lemon juice, again to prevent the flesh from blackening.
