Excuse me for disagreeing. Avocados should yield to slight pressure.
"Squishy' ones have flesh that is discolored in spots and develops an off
taste which can border on bitterness. Also avoid avocados than have dark
spots on the skin. The skin should be bright green, glossy and smooth with no
discoloration for the large California types while Florida types should be
pebbly, black with no sign of discolored spots and no wrinkles. Do not
refrigerate avocados as they will develop blotched brown/greyish flesh.
