Question

Are avocados ethylene sensitive?

Answer 1

Avocados:

1. Avocadoes have light green or yellow mesocarp (flesh) with a nutty flavor and buttery consistency.
2. They are rich in fiber, minerals (potassium, magnesium), and vitamins (vitamin C, K, E, riboflavin, niacin, and pyridoxine) which help to boost digestive function.
3. Ethylene is a gaseous plant growth regulator that promotes fruit ripening.
4. It also triggers senescence and abscission.
5. Avocados are ethylene sensitive. They produce ethylene once they are harvested, and ripen faster.
