Best Practices
The Ripe Way to Display
Keep an eye on your inventory and replenish as needed. Check the display daily and remove poor quality fruit. Help your customers find what they want. Identify ripe avocados with stickers or signage. This will prevent customers from squeezing the fruit, which causes internal bruising and shortens the shelf life.
The ideal display should feature ripe fruit. Firm fruit is best featured on a separate display.
Here are tips to set up your display
| CHECK: For damaged or bruised fruit and discard. | |
| REMOVE: Remaining fruit and set aside. New fruit will be placed on bottom. | |
| CHECK: New carton and remove damaged fruit (look for air pockets and other damage). | |
| RESTOCK: Display with new fruit. Place fruit set aside on top. The ideal display should feature ripe fruit. Firm fruit is best featured on a separate display. | |
| AVOCADOS LIKE IT DRY: Do not refrigerate! Do not display on wet racks or near misting systems. Display at room temperature. |
