Avocado Large

Description

The two main varieties of avocados grown in Australia are Hass and Shepard. Hass are in season from May through to January and Shepard’s are in season from February through to May. When ripe, the skin of the hass avocado becomes a dark purplish-black and yields to gentle pressure To speed up the avocado ripening process we recommend placing unripe avocados in a brown paper bag with an apple or banana for two to three days until they are ripe. Refrigerating a whole, ripe avocado will maintain the optimum ripeness for two to three days until you are ready to use it. Sprinkle cut avocado with lemon juice or vinegar to stop it browning.
