When you store cut avocados, sprinkle them with lemon or lime juice, then you can enjoy them as fresh as if they are just cut for at least a few more days. Avocados are plucked before they are ripe, and they ripen at room temperature. If you want them to ripen naturally, store them at room temperature, but if you want to enjoy them sooner, wrap them with foil or brown paper, and store at room temperature.   - Fruit Facts   Avocado is recorded by Guinness as the most nutritious fruit.
