The green fruit has become a popular breakfast staple in Australia over recent years – with many people enjoying the numerous health benefits.

An Australian mum has revealed you can ripen an avocado in foil in just ten minutes
The woman posted her secret tips on Facebook – and all you need is an airfryer and some foil.
The mum said she discovered the hack one night when she couldn’t find a ripe avocado for her guacamole, after making tacos for dinner.
She avoided disaster by using her airfryer to ripen up the hard fruit.
First she covered it in foil and turned her airfryer to 200C then she popped the avocado in for ten minutes.
When it came out it was easy to mash.
‘It does change the taste and texture a bit and I would recommend that you let it cool in the fridge, but it works,’ she said.
And although she admits she would prefer to use a ripe avocado she said the trick works ‘in a pinch’.
Hundreds of home cooks liked the simple hack which could end up ‘saving the day’ if dinner is prepared and a ripe avocado can’t be found.
‘We have had the same situation happen, thankyou so much for this,’ one home cook said.
‘This is amazing information, thanks so much,’ said another.
Others said bananas can be ripened in the same way.
Others had questions about how the fruit looked when it came out of the foil – but the woman who posted the trick assured them it was still green on the inside.
Some do the same thing using a microwave instead.
‘Don’t use foil and put it on for between 10 and 30 seconds,’ one person said.
