The time that is the shortest of all short windows between when avocado is hard as rock and terribly black and creaking has become one of many small trials in the millennium in life (for at least fans avocado).

But, it seems, there was no longer supposed to praise the avocado scanner in the largest UK seller, Tesco, shows it’s successful.

The idea of ​​scanning is that it will help customers estimate the maturity of fruit in stores and cut off at the waste at home. Using the scanner, customers can find out if their chosen avocado is best used for cutting in salad or is mature enough to break and eat on toast.

According to the best estimates, about a third of all avocadoes hit the bucket board, so that the scanner should save strenuous consumer consumers and the environment from a lot of food waste. Tesco really has shape in this sector, sharp Adopt technology and introduced Frozen avocado to the shops before the decade.
