How to ripen an avocado in 10 minutes?
(TheSubstanceProject)
In recent years, the combination of avocados and social networks seems to be as perfect as avocados and toast, but one trend posted on social media has prompted the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to intervene and issue an unusual warning.
The tip, which is supposed to keep the avocado from rotting fast, includes drowning it in water and keeping it cool.
The problem, according to health authorities, is that this method can cause pathogens on the surface of avocados like listeria and salmonella, which can reproduce when stored underwater.

The salmonella bacterium causes an infection called salmonellosis.
The infection in most cases causes nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
The infection can be transmitted to humans from various animals, such as chickens, ducks and turtles.
Salmonella infection is considered relatively common, and in recent years there has been an increase in the incidence of infection with the enteritis strain.
The CDC estimates that salmonella bacteria cause about 1.35 million infections, 26,500 hospitalizations and 420 deaths in the United States alone each year.
The situation is also worrying for Listeria. 260 of them die as a result of the infection.
As with other infections, in the case of Listeria there are risk groups that are more susceptible to this infection and they include the elderly, pregnant women and those taking medications that affect the immune system.

The current trend, as mentioned, increases the risk of developing pathogens on the surface of the avocado, ones that may also enter it.
A study by FDA scientists showed that listeria has the potential to penetrate into the avocado pulp when immersed in a refrigerated container within 15 days during refrigerated storage.
And if that's not enough, in 2018 the FDA collected and sampled more than 1,600 avocados, and when they examined the flesh of the fruit, which is the part we eat, infections were found in less than one percent of the samples.
But I wish the same could be said of the samples taken from the shells.
Nearly 18 percent of the samples were found to have listeria bacteria on the peel, which can cause the infectious disease listeriosis.
