How to Tell If an Avocado is Rotten
Watch more Food Safety & Freshness videos:
Avocados are delicious additions to sandwiches and salads, but you need to know if they’re overripe or rotten.
Step 1: Check the color
Look at the avocado’s color. Avocados that aren’t yet ripe are pale to dark green. Ripe avocados are dark green to greenish-brown, and an avocado that is dark brown to black is rotten.
Tip
Avocados reach peak ripeness just before they begin to rot. If the avocado has only slightly rotten parts inside, it’s still good to eat.
Step 2: Pull out the stem
Determine if an avocado is rotten by prying the stem from the top of the avocado. If the bottom of the stem is mushy, black, or mildewed, the avocado is probably rotten.
Step 3: Feel the avocado
Pick up the avocado. If it is hard and unyielding, it isn’t ripe yet. If it’s overly soft and mushy, it’s rotten.
Step 4: Cut it open
Cut open the avocado with a knife. If it’s dark green near the skin and pale green near the stone, it’s ripe. But if the meat is separated, stringy, and brown or black, it’s rotten. If the meat of a ripe avocado is exposed to air, it’ll brown quickly, but you can skim off the top layer and still use the avocado.

If it doesn't have mold in it, smells fine and tastes fine its still alright to eat. You should probably consume it asap tho.

Check there is a nobbly bit. That's what Gino says. No nobbly bit it's started to go brown. I get a net bag of 9 wonky ones from morrisons for £2.80. There just a bit smaller than average but just have to make sure they have the nobbly bit and are hard. Ripen at home in a drawer to just how you like them. I've had them a week and now all perfectly ripe to eat. 😋
Was hoping it was just overipe but turns out it's rotten.

After I've already ate half of it….Let me go back in the kitchen and pull the stem out to check.

I have a rotten avocado here. It doesn't smell bad. Kind of smells like chocolate. The stem spot is black and harry so I'm not going to eat it.
