Saul Report post Posted January 3, 2017 My guess: probably. I'd eat it anyway (unless it was getting soggy). -- Saul Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Todd Allen Report post Posted January 3, 2017 I go by taste and texture. If either is off I toss it. Typically I'll eat it when it has thin threads of discoloration but tend to trim discolored regions. My one great insight into avocados is short squat ones tend to have large pits and skinny ones with elongated necks have small pits. There is debate regarding the edibility/healthfulness of the pits. I don't eat them and find it annoying to buy an avocado that is mostly pit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
