An organic second skin could keep your avocados from going bad so quickly - Quartzy
The only thing that could make avocados better is if they could just wait on your shelf—not turning brown—until you were ready to eat them.
Finally, that day has come. On June 19, Del Rey Avocado and Eco Farms announced they will start selling long-lasting avocados at Costco and Harps Food Stores in the US midwest, for only $5 per bag of five. These avocados look exactly the same as Hass avocados, but have one key difference: they’ve covered in a thin coating of Apeel, a product created by a tiny startup of the same name, based in Goleta, California. According to Apeel, with this coating the shelf life of an avocado increases by roughly two or three times; instead of going brown after three to four days on your countertop, Apeel avocados last for more than a week.
