Can you freeze aguacate?

Can't Post | Private Reply

Out at the ranch our big, old aguacate tree is ready to pick. Even after giving them away to family and friends we're still going to be overrun with aguacates.

Anyone know if I could successfully freeze some of the pulp with the idea of later thawing it to use in guacamole? Would I still have problems with the pulp oxidizing? Peeled, whole, or halved with the stone removed?

Suggestions, ideas? Help.

Thanks

Ed,

I found the following information concerning freezing avocados:

Freezing Avocadoes

You can freeze mashed fresh, ripe avocados if you want to have an "emergency supply" of avocados on hand for guacamole.

To freeze, mash the avocados with a fork. Add one teaspoon lime or lemon juice per avocado and mix well. The best way to freeze the prepared mashed avocados is to use a freeze-weight zip lock bag. Fill the bag with the mashed avocado. Remove the air from the bag and then zip closed and freeze.

Thaw the frozen avocados in the refrigerator or place the container in a bowl of cool water to accelerate thawing.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, Doc. Guess I got lazy and posted the question instead of doing some web research first. Unsure
