Is there an easy way to tell if an avocado is ripe?

Yes, there are several easy ways to tell if an avocado is ripe. One way is to gently squeeze the avocado — if it yields slightly to your touch, it's likely ripe. Another way is to remove the stem: if the stem comes off easily, the avocado is ripe. You can also check the color; a ripe avocado should be a deep, uniform green-yellow. Finally, a ripe avocado should feel slightly heavier than an unripe avocado.
