Should Avocados ever be kept in the fridge?

[Cycleops]

Can you keep them there to halt the ripening process? Or should you let them ripen outside and eat?
BTW I can heartily recommend Waitrose smooth and delicious Italian balsamic &Olive oil dressing for salads or to eat with Avacado.

Unripe .... in the fruit bowl to speed ripening
Ripe... in the fridge to slow ripening, bring to room temp before eating.

Surely the question ought to be "should avocados ever be allowed on a plane?"

Fridge. They'll keep up to a month if you buy them while they're still quite firm. Gives you that extra wiggle room, as they tend to ripen very quickly at ambient.

I love avocado on toast for lunch - with a good splooshette of thai sweet chilli sauce

I remember once seeing a roadside poster advertising "Avo's 1$".
I was genuinely disappointed to realise they were avocados. Not Avometers.

Avocados should be in a bin - I don't like them

I might try that then, I find it a frustrating fruit as its a bit like Goldilock's porridge time it so its edible but not gone black

Pop them in the vegetable drawer and just check them regularly.

I tend to buy the loose ones, as the packaged "ripen in the fruitbowl" ones from Tesco went through a phase of going black rather than ripening after they price-matched them to Aldi.

Think part of the problem is people squeezing them in the shop...

I get that, but then I have been told i have a fine backside....

I’m currently in India with temperatures in the high 30°s.
My fruit man, whom I buy fruit and fresh chilled coconut water from every day, looked horrified when I said I keep the avocados in the fridge in my room.
