Two-second hack lets you check if your avocado is ripe without cutting it With its creamy texture and rich flavour, avocados are a superfood that is effortlessly versatile and utterly yummy.

If the cap is hard to remove or exposes brown or blackened flesh underneath, the avocado is likely overripe and about to turn brown and mushy.
One TikTok hack is helping Brits determine the ripeness of their avocado without even having to break the skin or give it a squeeze at the supermarket.
A TikTok account named MummyLifeSquad has posted a video suggesting that there's no need to cut or even squeeze your avocado to check if it's ready to eat.
