Avocados
Peak Season: Year-round
Perfect Pick: Firm to the touch without any sunken, mushy spots. They should not rattle when shaken—a sign the pit has pulled away from the flesh.
Handle with Care: To ripen, place avocados in a paper bag and store at room temperature for 2 to 4 days. To speed up this process, add an apple to the bag, which emits ripening ethylene gas.
The Payoff: Plenty of cholesterol-lowering monounsaturated fat.
