Buying an avocado is truly an emotional process. You start out with a hard, bright green fruit and then all of the sudden it's rotten and you have to start all over. But now, it doesn't have to be that way...at least if you buy them from Kroger. The grocery store announced it will start selling avocados nationwide that last longer without spoiling.

These magical avocados are treated with a food-based solution from a company called Apeel that helps slow down spoiling and keeps them "ripe for days." It claims to draw out oxidation and keep the moisture inside produce for longer in an effort to cut down on food waste. Basically, no more mushy avocados, at least for a bit longer.

The avocados were originally sold in a pilot program Kroger's Cincinnati market, but now the produce availability is being expanded across the US. Kroger said the Apeel system has saved millions of avocados from being tossed.

In addition to ripe-for-longer avocados, Kroger will also be testing out Apeel limes and asparagus in its Cincinnati market, which both are said to stay usable longer. If they're successful, that's almost a whole dinner's worth of veggies and fruits you don't have to worry about rotting in your crisper.
