Have you moved house? Different kitchen no?
@@Sahajayana-Nirvanasara Chop it up and toast it in a pan to pop on top of a salad. But it needs to be in small pieces, like sunflower seed sized.
@@MsCherade9 I moved just about two years ago now.
how about a video on autumn olives?they are a small red berry that grows on a big bush in the eastern u.s. possibly invasive in some places.they are amazing after the first frost of the autumn time.
jared goes against nature for 32 mins
35 i'm stoned
Oh, he went against nature the second he heated those poor "guacs" when he ate hot avocado ,, , you just don't do that to the poor things ,,, :P ,, the Pickling method loos interesting though,...that one appeals to my stoner senses
@@gothmeg5522
Lucky ass
😂 thats the only viable title.
ITS RIPE WHEN I SAY ITS RIPE
Opens avocado
"Oh God no."
You went against nature Jared, it fought back.
Smash cut to "natural ripening: 5 stars".
😂😂
I tried frying slices of unripe avocado with chilli and cumin. Squirt of lime and a bit of coriander, lovely.
*So you burn the Grocery store to the ground.......* a man of culture i see.
Coincidentally, it also rendered the avocados soft
At 2:20 The fact that you open that molded avocado slowly had me cracking up but your reaction had me crying🤣🤣
Excellent episode! I’ve baked 3 rock hard, whole avocados in foil, in the oven at 425 for 32 minutes at our altitude, and, it turned out really well. Used them for guacamole and no one could tell the difference. No tummy aches either. Tried the microwave first, but, couldn’t stand the rubbery, almost chemical smell.
bro, imagine the one person out there that reads "unripe avacadoes" and is like, what the fuck is that? but then below reads "Persea americana" and is like "oh shit, right, glad he translated that for me". That one viewer whose viewing this video from Vatican City...
I tried an unripe avocado once and it tasted PLENTY OF DISGUSTING
Up to 8 unripened avo's a day Jared! I feel the power surging through my fingertips. You are literally my favorite health guru
The microwave Avocado smelt like burning rubber Because you didnt take the Sticker off
I usually microwaev the sticker separately, you know just for consistency
No i tried it without its just wht it is. Very unsettlig flavor, but bareable in small mounts
"I should probably put this on something, but I won't." **YOLO!**
😂😂😂😂
11th way? I specifically buy 20 rock hard avacados. Remove them from bag and place in refrigerator. Then, as i want to use them, i take out of refer and let them sit for a few days. It takes a bit of planning but it beats buying ripe avacados which are bruised, as i don't use ones that have discoloration (bad taste). I have kept them rock hard in refer for as long as 6 weeks. Don't know if they could keep longer. But am happy that i can have perfect avacados with a minimal of planning.
That's what I do too if I get a good deal on unripe avocados 🥑 which doesn't happen often here in Newfoundland.
The bruised spots don't taste any different.
Idk, I usually buy unriped, and just wait a couple days and use them as they get riped through out the week. I'm Mexican and I love avocados on everything, I thinking being patient is the best way. Also I tend to buy them in Walmart which you have two choices either super ripe or green lol
Agreed. They travel better as stones. Once they are safe on the counter, they can become soft and delicate for eating once ripe or tucked away ripe in the fridge to last a few more days to a week for another time.
If I get any chance, and is sunny, i let them outside to ripen up.
This actually works, it takes two or three days, but they're almost entirely and 100% naturally ripen.
This trick works the best, especially for fruits like apples or bananas.
I like your channel partly because you're actually pretty good at describing the flavour of things. Piney is a decent way to put it
Please please please introduce the "sausage tree" (Kigelia africana) fruit that is favourite snack of hippos!!!
Poisonous when unripe, blistering and purgative when ripe. Has to be cooked before humans eat it.
Spectacular photos here, including bat pollination of the massive flowers. www.africanplants.senckenberg.de/root/index.php?page_id=78&id=952#
coming up soon!
Ok..this is weird.. I have bought 3 unripe avocados 6 days ago and they are not ripening! I am glad I watched this video because avocados are damn expensive here in Egypt and I didn't want to through them on the compost bin❤️
Thank you
I had one the other day that was very green the day it was bought so I planned to use it in a few days accordingly and the next morning it was done. Overnight magically it had ripened near no other fruit or vegetables, just resting on the countertop by it's lonesome. I had to rearrange my menu plan asap.
You will not know when an avocado is ripe until you press it lightly with your fingertips and it feels soft enough to mash. Could be overnight or it could be a matter of days. You will know when it is ripe by the way it feels. Over ripe avocados might as well be thrown away as they are brown and rotten. Sometimes you can salvage a part that has not turned brown. Do not buy over ripe avocados as you will be wasting your money. I don't understand how grocers can display these over ripe fruits or how people can buy them.
@@elizabethkelley5260 Put it with ripe bananas or other ripe fruit makes them ripen faster.
@@let_uslunch8884
Avocado goes with everything!
If it ripens by surprise, all we do is putting it in halves on the table... But I'm in avocado land a.k.a Costa Rica, so that's kind of cheating.
On the other hand, avocado is seasonal, so there's such a thing as too many avocados here. Knowing what to do with them when unripe is a welcome piece of information. unripe
Did you consider leaning into the piney flavor? Maybe the smoothie type preparation could be adapted into a pesto?
It would go well with piney hemp(among other herbs like basil). Like an herb sauce.

In my head "Not in the cup, not in the cup!"
"oh god don't drink that!"
"oh you got me"
lmfao touche
David Bowie is .....What???? I am distracted
He just is
A face in the crowd, and in the bag, according to Google
Do an entire unripe fruit cornucopia video. Green Papaya Salad, Green Mango salad, Fried Green tomatoes, maybe some recipes that require limes. IDK but thanks for another video of great content.
With a bergamot & makrut lime aioli
My only options include:
Plan meals ahead more than 48 hours.
A different grocer/vendor.
A restaurant.
Do without! 🥑
Hey Jared, your spontanius humor cracks me up. Greatly appriciated.
So you burn the grocery store down to the ground ...
Lmao my fav Jared quote
roasting tomatoes and unripe avocadoes & blending them with some garlic, onion, lime, a little salt & sugar and spices makes an amazing sauce base.
I would advise putting the garlic in the middle or top of the jar instead the bottom if you are going to invert the jar because uncovered garlic is a classic way to get botulism.
That’s what I smell when I try cooking with avocado oil.
Russians in the audience: if I’d doesn’t pickle - we don’t want it.
I really like this style of video where we get to see more of your personality come through. You really had good engagement here.
Don't laugh but I've actually gotten a bellyache when I ate a whole unripe one. Sometimes when you open one and it's black inside, I've tried to cut around that and eat only the green part but have gotten a bellyache from doing that too. I only eat soft, ripe avocados now.
Maybe the microwave/oven methods would have less of a weird taste if you removed the skin/seed first. Flavors might be leeching out of them.
The way I *INSTANTLY* ripen an Avocado is to take the Unripe Avocado, place in a basket with Ripe Avocados, then completely forget where I placed the unripened one, and just end up shrugging my shoulders as I grab one of the Ripe Avocados. 😅
"OH GOD NO."
When you're both horrified and calm at the same time.
hot avocado feels like such a sin! i've accidentaly gotten my avocado warm and it makes it taste soooo bad.
It's like eating softened candle wax
Pro tip, microwaves have hot spots from the magnetron and micro waves aren’t actually that small so when you put it in the centre of the dish you get cold spots so instead put the item on an orbit on the dish so it goes through the hot and cold spots giving much more even cooking
True dat.
I'd rather use microwave force softened avocados in my guac than too much cilantro. You can make up for the richness by incorporating a bit of olive oil. Up the garlic, introduce some cumin and you have something that will blow the minds of people who've only tasted store-bought guacamole without risking one in ten party people wondering why you added a bar of Irish Spring to the dip.
Oh you must be one of those people that tastes cilantro as soapy. You have the olefactory receptor genes that pick up on the aldehyde in cilantro. I think its something like under 15% of people have that gene. I do not have it I can eat straight cilantro no soapy taste at all.
I cant with cumin but your recipe is legit
@@RobRuckus65 I get why people say it tastes like soap, but honestly, a bar of soap is more palatable than the wretch-inducing chemical taste of cilantro.
Surely it’s more than one in 10 people who hate coriander!? Just going on the conversations I’ve had on this topic in my workplace...
@@lolcatz88 some people may just not like it regardless
He doesn't crack jokes a lot but when he does its funny 😂
Thanks for showing me so many reasons to wait patiently for the avocados to ripe/over ripe every so slightly
My parents use brown paper bags(or newspaper) , put the avocados in the bag or wrap it in a few layers of newspaper, with out cutting it and leave them in the pantry for 3-4 days until they ripen. During avocado season, i always make avocado toast for breakfast with lemongrass tea
Yesterday I bought an avocado first time in my life. It was really expansive and when I opened it, it was unripped. It make me so sad but looking these options to use unriped avocado give me motivation to try some experiment with it. Thanks for the video. 🇵🇰🇵🇰
Jared: I cooked the egg all the way through cuz I don't like runny yolks so sue me.
Me, currently filing lawsuit: You monster!
...I'll drop the charges if you make a video sometime about weird fruit to pickle xD
deal
I don't like the yolk completly runny either, I like it when it has texture similar to ketchup. Takes about 6-7 minutes of boiling to get it to that (although may vary on egg to egg), try it.
@@OAikoT mmm, soft-boiled eggs are that good good.
I like undercooked eggs, i am about to die.(:
is the salt really softening it, or is it just a consequence of that area being oxidised?
If its somehow the salt, I wonder if slicing it and brining it would help
Great video man, imma try the pickled avocado because I've never heard of that
pickled looks killer. i can't believe fancy sandwich shops don't do this in bulk
Wow, this has been very useful. Really appreciate the comparison. My takeaway is just wait until they are ripe.
not a huge fan of avocado but i do love pickles and pickling things so now i'm interested in trying to pickle some unripe. 😁
I love how you "measure" ingredients :) also addicted to you channel keep up the great work.
Baked ripe avocado with shrimp and cheese...yum!
I was really hopping that when it said "7 Baked" that it would cut to you smoking a big joint and eating raw avocado. Missed a comedic opportunity there.
Roasted - I have been insulting this avocado for two hours but it doesn't seem any softer.
You're giving me material for a "ten more ways " video
Please try some of the desserts made with avocados that are common in Brazil. Avocados are usually used in desserts in Brazil
Nice one, I'm going to look it up
Not to mention the sort-of-still-bad-but-probably-better avocado smoothie with milk
Same here in the Philippines. They make really good ice cream.
😂 was not epecting that out of the review, nice little touch 15:05
In Mexico and Central America, avocados are called “la mantequilla de los pobres” (“poor people’s butter”). Of course, nowadays avocados cost more than butter- unless you have an avocado tree.
you can also put them next to oranges (make sure they’re touching) and it will ripen in less than a day of course depending on how many you have but i suggest 1 orange per 2 avocados
OMG, new keto recipe. Avocado fries! I'd use chili mayo dip with them..
I gave up because for now, I have to depend on Instacart shoppers and can’t really trust their avocado-assessing abilities. I’ve been fooled too often myself.
So now I’m getting frozen diced avocados. They’re pretty good, actually. I repackage in 2oz portions so they don’t all fuse into one frozen glob. They thaw pretty quickly and the pieces can be easily pried off with a knife. I like to eat them by themselves or maybe sliced on crackers.
I usually freeze avocados anyway since the alternative is to eat the whole thing. Have never managed to successfully store half an avocado in the fridge. Mash with lemon juice and freeze flat in zip sandwich or snack bags. They thaw quickly. Half a Haas avocado per bag for me.
Another option is to get small sealed packages of mashed avocado. They can be kept in the fridge for a while, but I freeze those and they thaw pretty quickly. Kroger’s Simple Truth brand has them in 4-packs, probably about 2oz in each. There are other brands doing the same thing with guacamole, but a simple Truth is the only one I’ve found so far that just has plain avocado.
i used to freeze blended avocado with squash and bananas and chocolate powder/protein powder and put dollops of nut butter in there then microwave it when i took it out of the freezer to soften it up a bit. i think blended coconut shreds would go well in there too i know i used to add other things
I think I will try these with a Florida verity. Even ripe they need allot to be desired so thanks for the heads up. Picked here I come then pan fried
Good idea, these would work well with a bland avocado as well
I’ve had a chocolate avocado smoothie before, it was at a Vietnamese restaurant and it was really good
Apart from pickling it, the best thing to do with an unripe avocado is to wait until it is ripe. Which I suppose pickling it is just a variant of.
A moment of silence for all the brave avocado who had to leave so prematurely.
Soo this is why People keep lighting targets on fire... No ripe avocados.
I feel like the eggcado would work well with a guinea hen egg for sake of size. quale if you can find them. I just happen to own a small flock of the missing links so when I can find where they lay them I have all the guinea eggs I want
Merry Christmas, Jared.
merry Christmas!
Pretty lucky here in England. Avocados are just the right amount of cheap, available and in demand that I can always find good sized ones, perfectly ripe, for about 50p (maybe, 70 cents?)
One of my favorite pastimes is watching Jared fight with fruit, it’s really a spectacle to be cherished.
Hilarious! Thanks for saving me so much time and so many tears! 🤣
Glad you enjoyed it!!
I freeze my avocados then thaw when Im ready to use and they are soft. Freezing destroys the cell walls or something to that effect. Works very well for me and none go to waste now!
I definitely have to try pickling them now, that sounds divine!
Great video, thanks!
Great tip!
Thank you for doing this! Now I dont have to waste any avocados...lol!
Cooking an avo should be considered a crime
ah yes the classic age-old story "we're out of guacamole time to commit arson!" I mean it is the most logical way to handle a situation like that. Maybe the fire will soften the avocados and then you get both guacamole and arson so it's a win-win!
I actually needed this because everytime i go to the store and look for avocados they are mostly all unripe sadly but yeah this actually helped alot.
lol..... "..so you burn that grocery store to the ground." as the cadence to your words slow down, that's hilarious! Greg (garden grove, CA usa)
Definitely made me laugh a few times!
I could see baking an avocado with pan fried spice chick peas to veganize the dish. I will try pan frying an unripe avocado to as part of lunch.
good idea!
Great video for the avocado addicts!
Thank you
I ate half the avo last night with bread and it’s delicious so I froze the other half to make smoothie. But it’s bitter somehow…how did that happens?
Fried avocados are my favourite!! I love to have it with a green pesto pasta salad.
This was great. 😆👍 five stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
All unripe avocado curiosity satisfied 🤪
Don't cut open an avocado unless it feels soft - it's quite infallible.
The absolute best way to eat a unripe avocado is:
You dont. Wait, until its naturally ripe.
Hello Jared,
i had to laugh at 15:00 ff when you said to give the pickle sauce drink to someone you don't like - Great Idea !
Maybe the salt method works better if you cut it in half and put the salt on the cut all around
or remove the seed and fill it with salt you wash off before eating.
With the Vegeta it is of Yugoslavian origin.
The word and the Es are spelled similar to the word Energy with a fast V in front.
Did you know there is a version of Vegeta with more vegetables and less salt in it?
I wish you a nice and contemplative christmas time and thank you for the interesting test run.
I love the stuff, makes everything taste better. i'll have to look for the version with extra veg.
Hey thanks. I wonder if anyone else is curious about those pickled avocados? A new research project.
I will be looking forward to try the pickled unripe avocado in 2020
28:12 what does the scouter say about his power level?!
20:58 yeah!! Weird but cool. Thx for posting this!
Avocado slices are also good when coated in batter and deep fried.
There are lots of things that are good when coated in batter and deep fried
i love this channel, especially the inventive ways to use things which aren't really necessary to eat
I thoroughly enjoyed this video and your honest review!
I'm happy to see you use the word good and not edible.( can't tell you why but I'm happy.) ♥️🌹
nicely put together.
I would like to add that there are some sorts that do not get that soft,but are ripe.
I had some of these once and waited until they were soft,and inside they were overripe already.
I've come back in time and this was the best video
I've done the "close it and pretend nothing happened" method on the counter a couple times and never had mold. I didn't put lime on it or wrap it though.
liked bc of sheer content, commented bc of "shuuddup"
I can see an enraged Jared blowing fire into the produce section!
ochikeron is so sweet!!! unexpected crossover lol
wow! these were all fun ideas, maybe i'll try the try the pan fried avocado
#weirdexplorer. Jared I'm just going to wait to it the ripen by itself hahaha.
On the baked avocado, you should have used a couple quail eggs instead. They would fit better, and taste good too.
I forgot it was Wednesday! Merry Christmas indeed!
I'll try out pickling it. Thank you
PAZAZZ! Word of the day! :)
Haha made me laugh when the avocado was molded
