Avocado Hass

Hass avocados vary in size, depending on growing conditions, but are generally medium-sized, averaging 7 to 15 centimeters in diameter and 141 to 300 grams in weight. The variety has an oval, oblong, to pyriform shape with blunt, slightly tapered curved ends and features a rough, woody button on the stem end. The skin ripens from green to dark green, sometimes darkening to shades of green-purple, almost black. The skin is also glossy and is textured, pebbled, thick, and taut. Hass avocados are easy to peel, revealing dense, yellow-green flesh. The flesh is firm when young, softening to a tender, creamy, and fibreless consistency when ripe. The flesh also envelops a moderately sized, round brown seed tightly embedded into the flesh. Hass avocados are known for their high oil content, creating a rich, nutty, savory, earthy, and subtly sweet taste.
