First post on any forum here, so be kind. :)

 

I've just about given up on Peruvian avocados due to their uneven ripening. I've gotten the same results from Peruvian avocados purchased from either Sam's Club and Costco. When I test them with finger pressure, the same as I do for Mexican avies, they seem ripe but when opened are still hard on the inside. If I wait another day or two after one seems ripe, it's already started rotting towards the outside. We typically lose about 1/3 of a bag due to uneven ripening. We never lose a Mexican avocado to uneven ripening.

 

Our home temp stays at about 74 degrees F. at countertop level with a humidity level around 50%. 

 

I've searched the Internet for clues about this problem but there's virtually no info about it. 

 

Has anyone else experienced ripening difficulties with Peruvian avocados?
