Cutting into an avocado only to find dark spots can be disappointing—but before you throw it away, here’s what you should know! Not all browning means your avocado is spoiled, and you might still be able to enjoy it.
Why Does My Avocado Have Dark Spots?
Those brown or black patches aren’t always a sign of spoilage. Here are the most common (and harmless) causes:
🍃 Bruising – Rough handling during transport or storage can cause bruising, which affects texture but not safety.
🍃 Oxidation – Just like apples, avocados darken when exposed to air. It’s natural and doesn’t necessarily mean it’s bad.
🍃 Cold Damage – Over-chilling in the fridge can lead to darkened areas, but the avocado is often still edible.
