What does frozen avocado taste like?

[rawererin]

I was hoping not bad, I want to start buying them in bulk and freezing them, instead of buying them every couple of days... some feedback would be helpful.

:( It didn't turn out well for me to freeze them. They didn't thaw well for me. I was so disappointed too!!! I hope things turn out better for you...

I agree with Renee. I found them to be simply awful unfrozen. There just isn't as much water in avo's as say berries or fruit so it really changes the consistancy after freezing. Good luck!

Freezing is not ideal. You need to eat the bulk of your food fresh. There is a continuum between raw and cooked. Frozen is not fully raw. Frozen is not optimal. Now and again is okay. It's worth the extra hassle for your health.

Well, that's what I think.

Good luck.

I even tried putting a little lemon juice on them before I put them in the freezer. They tasted even worse with the lemon.

I found it works very well and the flavor, in tact.
It cannot replace fresh cubes or slices, however, for a sandwich or salad, for example. It is perfectly fine for blending making ice creams, chocolate puddings, sauces, soups, dressings, etc.

I agree with Jaurequi they're good for blending and recipes, but they taste horrible when eaten alone after being frozen. They lose their firmness & flavor. YUCK.

They are pretty pricey and puny in California right now, especially since the fires in San Diego. I just bite the bullet now buy a week or two's worth at a time, instead of going back and forth to the store every 3 days for them.

Is that the reason? I haven't had the excellent, true perfection that avocados from California normally are since the summer!

Those fires have been devastating for Californians; it seems to worsen each season. Many other effects are felt as well, such as the poor air quality that wafts its way throughout the state. :(

Hope you're breathing well in San D. now :)

I do freeze the ripe ones that I know I'm not going to eat before they go bad then I use them later to make guacamole.

I take out the pit, scoop out the flesh, flash freeze then store in a large ziplock. When I'm ready to make guacamole, I take out just what I will be using, squeeze lemon juice on them, thaw them in a covered bowl then mash away and add my seasonings.

I put one in the freezer for a test. However, I put it in whole, skin and all. I was hoping it would be good for chocolate pudding/pie/ice creams. Anyone try it like that? I was wondering if I should thaw it in the fridge slowly or faster at room temp?

Most of the CA avos come from San Diego I believe. Oh and I'm in northern california, we're getting our fair share of smog too now. It's getting worse every year. But there are a lot of positives as well. Blossom where you are. :)
