An Aussie mum shared her GENIUS TRICK for keeping avocados fresh after scoring 25 of them on sale (90% off, in fact) at a supermarket. So, instead of paying the supposed $32.5, she only had to pay $3.25. Doesn’t that deal sound like the sweetest dream in the world?

Avocados are known to be a kitchen staple all over the world. The fruits (yes fruit, it’s not a veggie!) are rich in nutrients that are often lacking in people’s diets, including magnesium, B6, Vitamin C, Vitamin E and folate. It’s used for multiple dishes that range from hot chips to salads!

Now, avocados are notorious for being prone to rotting. The “sweet spot” only comes once, and if you didn’t realise that was the time, then you’re already too late. Due to this, several of us are forced to adapt to this “sweet spot” and use the avocados we buy IMMEDIATELY as they show signs of being ripe.

This mum’s brain, however, is in the year 3022, showing us THE FUTURE, a brilliant way to preserve the avocados’ useability! She mashed all the avocados up once they were in their optimal states, then proceeded to individually pack them into zip lock bags that captured the size of a single serving, and then she stored all of them in the freezer!

Some others were concerned about the freshness of the food, but the bargain-loving mum said that the avocados stay green once defrosted, taste the same and can be used for your typical toast, pasta and guacamole!

She posted the trick on a group on Facebook, which solicited hundreds of likes and dozens of comments from those impressed by the trick. Eventually, people started getting into their own ways of keeping the fruit fresh.

'I mash avo with some lemon juice, then freeze it in ice cubes ready to use... they thaw really quickly,' one mum commented.

‘I had a whole heap of avocados which I put in a container of water in the fridge as I was going away for a few days. Fast forward over two weeks and they were still perfect!', another mum exclaimed.

Another mum expressed the love of her beloved frequent visitor towards avocados, 'Nice score. My possum loves avocados, so I buy heaps of them,'
