What are the brown or black streaks the flesh of an avocado sometimes contains?

Q: What are the brown or black streaks the flesh of an avocado http://goo.gl/Gtt67x sometimes contains?
A: The "streaks" you describe occur rarely and generally in fruit from young trees. Though the fibers may be unsightly, the surrounding fruit is safe for you to eat.

Q: What does it mean if my fruit has brown/black streaks?

A: The "streaks" you describe are a relatively rare occurrence generally found in fruit from young trees. Although the fibers may be unsightly, the surrounding fruit is safe for your consumption. 

Q: Why does my avocado contain brown strings?

A: Fruit from younger trees generally tends to have strings, but these they often disappear or fade as the avocado matures. Reduced oil content in avocados also is tied to stringiness. Mid- to late-season California avocados have a high oil content, which results in fruit with little to no stringiness.

Q: What does it mean if my fruit has brown/black spots?

A: Flesh discoloration occurs when the avocado has been exposed to cold temperatures for a long period of time before it begins the ripening process. Flesh bruising can occur in transit or as a result of compression caused by excessive handling. Unfortunately there is no way to detect either flesh discoloration or flesh bruising by looking at the avocado's exterior. They are not harmful and can be removed by cutting them out.

Q: How do I know if my Hass Avocado is too ripe to eat?

A: We do not recommend eating "browned" or oxidized portions of the fruit. Overly ripe fruit can take on a rancid odor, it is best not to eat the fruit. If the fruit or guacamole has oxidized (turned brown) on the top layer and the underneath is green, simply discard the brown layer.

中國人年均讀書0.7本,與韓國的人均7本,日本的40本,俄羅斯的55本相比,中國人的閱讀量少得可憐.....中國人不愛讀書有四個方面的原因:一是國民文化素質偏低。二是從小沒有養成閱讀的良好習慣;三是”應試教育”,讓孩子們沒有時間和精力去讀課外書;四是好書越來越少。
