Avocado Long Neck

Ryan avocados vary in size, depending on growing conditions, but are generally a medium to large varietal, averaging around 400 grams in weight. The variety showcases a pyriform to oval, egg-shaped nature, and the skin is relatively thick, tough, and textured, covered in raised pebble-like bumps. The skin remains dark green, even when ripe, and is lightly glossy with a rough feel. Underneath the surface, the flesh is primarily yellow-green, with a thin, darker green ring below the skin. The flesh is also firm, dense, creamy, and smooth, encasing a large dark brown seed, also known as a stone. Ryan avocados are consumed ripe, and it is somewhat challenging to determine maturity based on visual cues alone. It is recommended to slip the end of a knife into the stem end. It is ripe if the knife easily pierces the flesh and hits the seed. If the knife is met with resistance in the flesh, it needs to be allowed to ripen longer. Ripe Ryan avocados have a mild, subtly sweet, and earthy flavor.
