Simple solutions and tips on storing avocados at home and how to keep avocados from going bad. A recipe for making a vegan avocado chocolate tart is in the description below.

Food for thought, a study done in Kenya measured the waste of avocados. Although Kenya grew 81,000 tons of avocados, 30,000 to 40,000 tons or 50% of the crop ended up as food waste, even before reaching the consumer. No effort is to small to end food waste.
