Shoot!
Last night I headed over to Whole Foods to get some extra groceries. I am planning to make this avocado spread to eat with the falafels I made. There is actually a science to picking vegetables and fruit. You want to get the ripest items possible for maximum taste and happiness.
In case you didn't know, ripening is a process by which fruit will taste sweeter and become softer.
What I always do however is stick my fruits and vegetables in the fridge. Big Rookie Mistake!!! What I didn't know until today is that cold temperatures stop the ripening process in some fruit, and will slow it way down in other fruit. Unrefrigerated apples will “ripen” 8 times faster than refrigerated apples!
Needless to say I may have ruined my avocado dip by placing the sucker in the fridge. Shoot!
