I was checking out the freezer aisles in T**co yesterday and came across frozen avacado, £2 50 for what looked like about 4 or five halved ones, I love avacados but OH cant stand them so I rarely buy any. Not sure what they would be like once defrosted so didnt buy some Anyone tried them or frozen their own?:j

I've frozen them before, but mashed up with a little bit of lemon juice first to make guacamole or a dip, and it's been fine.

Yes, although it's cheaper to get the ripen at home pack (if you can't get YS ones that is) and freeze them yourself if necessary.

From frozen they're fine if you use them as soon as they're defrosted as they brown extremely quickly once thawed. The texture isn't quite as nice, so don't think I'd do slices in a salad. But mashed on toast, couldn't really tell much difference from fresh.

I use them for guacamole. They're a bit soft, so I wouldn't necessarily use them for salad, but they're a useful standby. And you do at least know that you won't cut into them and find they're black inside!
