Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your avocados ripe and ready to go by storing them in a paper bag with a ripe banana. The ethylene gas emitted by the banana will help accelerate the ripening process.
  2. 2. To maintain the bright green color of your tomatillos, store them in a paper bag in the refrigerator. This will help prevent them from turning mushy or losing their tangy flavor.
  3. 3. For a quick and zesty dip, store your cilantro in a glass of water in the fridge. This will keep it fresh and vibrant, ready to be chopped and added to your dip.
