Seedless Avocado

Cocktail avocados are small in size, averaging 1 to 3 centimeters in diameter and 5 to 8 centimeters in length, and have a narrow, cylindrical, to elongated shape, similar in size and appearance to baby cucumbers. The avocados sometimes have a slightly curved nature, depending on the variety, and blunt, curved ends. The skin is thin, tightly adhered to the flesh, and has a smooth, glossy, and taut feel. The fruit’s coloring also remains mostly green for some varieties, even when ripe. Underneath the surface, the pale yellow-green flesh is solid and dense with a creamy, buttery, and tender consistency when ripe. Unripe avocados will have a firm, hard nature and should not be consumed until they have matured. Cocktail avocados are generally seedless and lack a central seed. There may be a small, slender cavity in the flesh with a hollow papery sheath, also known as the seed coat. Select fruits that give slightly when squeezed, as Cocktail avocado ripeness is determined by feel, not coloring. Cocktail avocados are edible, raw or cooked, and have a grassy, nutty, and rich taste.
