Buying & storing

  • Buy rock hard and ripen at home; the ripe ones in the shop are usually bruised
  • Ripen in the fruit bowl, then move to the fridge to hold for days
  • Multipacks of small ones often beat singles on value

Keep it well: Ripen at room temperature, then refrigerate to hold at ripe for several days.
