Each avocado ripens at its own rythm. How ripe the avocado is when you first hug it makes a fairly big difference. It's difficult to give a precise answer as to exactly how long we can postpone the natural (and inevitable) browning.

We can confirm with a ton of confidence that our Avocado Huggers keep avocado halves as fresh as possible by helping to seal in the moisture of the fruit and seal out air and bacteria. Perhaps the real question is how long can you resist eating a delicious half avocado that you have in the fridge?

Our largest Avocado Hugger will fit avocados between 11-13 cm long and 9-10 cm wide.

Our small Avocado Hugger will fit avocados between 9-11 cm long and 6-7.5 cm wide. 

We created these two sizes so that you could be sure that whatever kind of avocado you like best, you’ll always have a hugger that fits.  

Avocado Huggers are completely freezer safe. We recommend spraying the avocado with lemon or lime juice and making sure the avocado fits snugly into your Avocado Hugger before being stored in the freezer. Check out this Masterclass guide to freezing avocados.

Yes, absolutely! Once you’ve eaten every last bit of your avocado half saved in an Avocado Hugger, throw it in the dishwasher so it’ll be ready to go for the next avocado craving!

We do have a couple of tips we can share to help keep that avocado green as long as possible:

#1. Don’t remove the skin from your leftover avocado half.

#2. Squeeze a bit of lime juice or lemon juice on the flesh side of your avocado

#3. Store it in an Avocado Hugger that hugs the avocado half snugly. 

#4. Place your hugged avocado in the fridge. 

#5. Plan out a meal for the next day using the saved avocado half.
