Martin Planque of Montosa: “A lot of trouble with avocados? They are either too hard, or overripe. If you buy your avocados in large bags, you will never be able to consume them over a period of time. We, therefore, offer avocados in various stages of ripeness in the same package. One is ready to eat, the other two you can eat over the following few days, and they can still ripen more. In this way, you can spread out when you consume them.”
