| The last few weeks each avocado I've purchased has ended up being rather rubbery -- to the point where I cannot mush it into a spread. At first I was thinking I didn't let it ripen properly etc, but now I've decided it's the avocado. I've made purchases at three stores. Do I just need to give up on avocados for a while until they are back in season or something? Is there even a season? TIA |

| yes, i usually give up on avocados and wait for the California ones to come back. i think in march or april? California avocados are usually very good. other countries are hit or miss. |

| Always make sure you're buying Hass avocados with the really dark green skin and then wait until they're pretty soft. Good luck! |

| I've been having the same issue and thought it was just me. Wait for the right season, I guess. |

| put them in a paper bag until they get really soft. I second the Haas suggestion, as well. |

| You buy them when they are not ripe and you wrap them in aluminium until they become ripe. |

Was the skin extremely smooth and the fruit very large? It may not have been a Haas avocado. 80% of the world's avocados are Haas. So delish. The other smooth skinned large ones are not Haas variety. And they are watery and tasteless, imo.
