                                Over 80% of the world's commercially-sold avocados are the Hass variety, which change color as they ripen. Beyond just being overripe, an avocado reaches a point where it's no longer a delicious, nutritious treat but a potential health hazard. Knowing at what point is an avocado not safe to eat is crucial for preventing foodborne illness and reducing food waste.
