Worldwide, people consume over 2.7 million tons of avocados each year, and many still question the safety of eating unripe ones. It's generally safe to eat an avocado that is not ripe enough, although the taste might be disappointing.

Nearly 70% of American households buy avocados, and many people have experienced the disappointment of cutting into an unripe one. The good news is that you can eat an avocado too early, and it's perfectly safe, though the experience will be different than with a perfectly ripe one.
