Can you freeze avocado?

What freezing does to avocado

Avocados are not satisfactorily frozen whole or sliced, so the best result comes from freezing them as a purée. Freezing cannot improve the flavor or texture of any food, but when properly done it can preserve most of the quality of the fresh product.

How to freeze it

1. Select avocados that yield to gentle pressure with rinds free from dark blemishes.
2. Peel fruit, cut in half and remove pit.
3. Freeze as purée – unsweetened for salads and sandwiches, sweetened for other uses.
4. Add 1/4 teaspoon (750 mg) ascorbic acid to each quart of purée or add 1 tablespoon lemon juice for each 2 avocados.
5. Pack into container, leaving headspace. Seal and freeze.

Depends on the form

• Avocados are not satisfactorily frozen whole or sliced.
• For a better quality product, add 1/4 teaspoon (750 mg) ascorbic acid to each quart of purée or add 1 tablespoon lemon juice for each 2 avocados.
