Is it possible to freeze a raw unpeeled unripe avacado for use later?
If not why? If so what is the process to ensure maximum freshness?

Must be possible, most food wholesalers sell frozen avocado halves (no skin or stone). Only good for guacamole etc. as far as I can tell? Ingredients list ascorbic acid, probably to stop them going brown while processing and defrosting? – TFD Sep 29 '11 at 03:37

Freezing affects the texture of avocados rather poorly. Freezing a whole one or chunks will result in a mushy avocado on refreezing. Its not recommended apparently.
To properly freeze an avocado, it should be washed, pureed (not just mashed) and frozen with a bit of lemon juice (or other applicable acid) to prevent browning.
