I am not sure. They don't. Bananas go black in the fridge, avacadoes
don't.

Been eating those suckers most of my entire life. I love them. I am an
avacado junkie. They do not ripen when cut. You can however preserve the
cut portion for a short time. Leaving the pit in one half does help them
stay green but exposed to oxygen they go dark very fast - within hours.
