Avocado Lamb Hass

Lamb Hass avocadoes are larger than the common hass variety, weighing anywhere from 10-18 ounces. They grow on productive, upright, compact trees, maturing later in the season than their hass relative. They have a pear or oval shape, distinguished from hass avocados by their flat, squared shoulders. The pebbly skin is very dark green, even when under-ripe, and it will continue to darken to almost black as it matures. The skin of Lamb Hass avocados can be easily peeled to reveal the pale green flesh, which houses a medium-sized seed. Like hass avocadoes, the flesh of the Lamb Hass is smooth and creamy, and offers a similar rich and nutty flavor.
