HASS AVOCADOS
Recognized globally for its unique texture and rich flavor, the Hass avocado stands out as one of the most popular avocado varieties in the world.
This variety is easily identified by its rough, dark green skin that gradually darkens to a deep purplish-black as it ripens. Inside, the flesh is creamy with a pale green to white color near the seed.
Hass avocados are typically medium to large in size, weighing between 200g to 300g.
What makes Hass avocados highly sought after is not just their delicious taste — they also have an excellent shelf life, higher yields for growers, and in some regions, can be harvested almost all year round.
These qualities combined have made Hass the leading choice for both local and international avocado markets.
