How to Pick The Perfect Avocado

When an avocado is picked, the stem is trimmed, leaving a small nub that looks like a tiny brown button.  

The best way to know when an avocado is perfect for making guacamole is when the nub on the top of the avocado pops off easily.  

When the avocados are under ripe the nub will not come off.  But as soon as it’s ripe and ready to go, the nub will fall off with the flick of a finger.
