Storage Guidelines

Commercial storage guidance for unripe avocados (general recommendation; varies by cultivar, maturity and storage length). Storage life depends on initial quality, maturity, cultivar and handling; this is not a household shelf-life guarantee.

Internal chilling injury (flesh graying and vascular browning) limits long-term storage, and ethylene exposure accelerates softening and worsens it. Sensitive to ethylene: keep away from ethylene-producing fruit. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016).
