When is an avocado ripe?

It can be quite tricky to determine the ripeness of an avocado, yet there are several tricks that may help you.

Gently squeezing the avocado can tell you a lot. You can squeeze a ripe avocado a little, but it still feels firm. If it’s very soft, it’s likely overripe.
You can also carefully remove the small stem of the avocado. If it comes off easily, and you see green underneath, it’s ready to eat!
