Good news. Well, for me anyway.
Avocadoes can be mashed when ripe, with lemon juice, then put the seed back into the pulp, seal and freeze for future use.
Very handy as avos are really cheap right now.
When you thaw it out, the surface will brown off a bit if it’s left too long, but you can just mix it back in and serve. Taste is retained.
If you already knew this, then you should have told me earlier.

Ooo didn’t know that. Thanks. I assume you mean put the mashed avo back in the skin ? then wrap and freeze ..

I knew that if you store a cut avo with the seed in place it doesn’t go brown. I’m positive I told you about this little trick. Maybe!!!!

Yes, i knew about leaving the seed in the avo. However, i’m talking about freezing the avo for use in the off season.
Apparently it’s what mex restaurants do. They blend the ingredients of guacamole and store in the freezer with the seed also blended into it. Apparently works the same.
HP, use a chinese takeaway container or similar to store the lemon juice/pulp, with the seed pushed into it. Snap the lid on and store in the freezer.

what is the reason for replacing the seed?

I’m still trying to work out if they put the pulp plus seed back into the skin, or if they’re just sealed in a ziplok???

Sorry to lack imagination here…

Somehow the seed prevents the flesh from browning. Browning is the worst part of avocados.

I have no idea why the seed of an avocado should be left in the fruit for storage. However, i do know that if you remove the seed and store the fruit, it will go off really suddenly.
Pom. Throw the bloody skin in the worm farm. Mash the flesh with some lemon juice, put it in a container. shove the seed into the pulp. Stick the lid on and freeze it. Fair dinkum. Bluddy Qbilly.

It wasn’t Pom, it was me that asked the dumb question…

One more: one seed per container of pulp? I’m thinking the little 3/4cup volume containers here…those Glad ones with the blue lids…

Excuse me!!!! That was Dinetta!!!! Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Yes D. 1 seed per container. Seems i should have had a go at you instead of Poor Pom. But i don’t know if you bite hard, so maybe i wouldn’t have anyway. Dunno. Stuufed everything up again i did.

Oops. Sorry Pom, (however, you probably deserved a good serve for some remark you made to me in the past but i didn’t see it. So now we’re probably even.ish.) Heh Heh.

Gees. Am i in for it now.

I don’t bite about the QBilly stuff…after all you’re a Mexican and the Victorians are Poms…the Sozzies are what they are, and the SandGropers are a different breed altogether…hang on while I find a Territorian to support me…

Pomolo, would you be kind enough to put up your Holey Moley recipe again please?

I have it on a HDD that has since died :(

but it might be just the thing for this thread…

That’s it! I’m never worring about your life again. Go where you want and do what you want, I won’t give you a passing thought.

According to our chef in NSW it’s OK. But put the seed in it as well.

I know it’s not trad but I’ve had it with crumbled crispy bacon stirred through and it was yummy. A bit of cumin goes well too.

Course i am. With airlines PNG. Those twin otters are safe as houses.
Whatever happened, wasn’t the plane’s fault. The one i flew in when i was in Yemen had a series of holes down the fuselage from a burst of AK 47. Still flew OK though. What’s that got to do with avocados anyway?

Those twin otters are a pain in the ear drum, or the one I used to travel to school in, did… unpressurised…

thrilled to bits when it was trashed during a wild hailstorm during ’71…we flew bush pilots in a little 6 seater after that…comfy!!

Yes. I carry earplugs. I’m more concerned with it falling down than how much noise it makes tho’.

Not saying anything else about it in this thread. You have gone right off topic. LOL. Sometimes I slay me!

Neither do you by the sound of it. Why the risks? Same goes for PM too.

A bloke should stay home and knit or something.
