AVOCADOES
1) DON'T EAT UNRIPE avocadoes or indeed mix them into smoothies.
2) SLIGHTLY brown avocado flesh is OK, but throw DARK PARTS away.
3) Don't store WITH THE SEED.
4) Don't EAT the seed even if crushing it up.
5) NEVER eat an avocado if:
- you have a LATEX allergy
- you are on blood thinners
6) They don't store well. If you must store a half then for ONLY ONE DAY and wrap it in tinfoil after pouring some lemon onto the edible surface.
7) Never COOK an avocado for eating, even if mixed with other foods.
