Hass avocado
502021
The Hass avocado is the most popular fruit in its category. It is characterised by thick, grainy skin that turns dark (from green to purplish-black) when ripe. Its flesh is creamy, rich in vegetable fat and has a mild flavour, making it suitable for use in many recipes and dishes.
Culinary uses:
The Hass avocado is suitable for a wide range of uses, both cold and cooked:
► Guacamole: this high-quality avocado is the essential ingredient for making guacamole, seasoned with lime, coriander and chilli.
► Salads and bowls: ideal sliced for mixed salads, poke bowls or savoury toast (avocado toast).
► Starters: Perfect for ceviche, verrines or served in half shells with a vinaigrette.
► Desserts: Can be used in sweet dishes (chocolate mousses, green smoothies) to add creaminess.
Storage and preparation tips:
► Storage: Fresh product. Store at room temperature to encourage ripening. Once ripe, store in the refrigerator. To slow down the oxidation of a cut avocado, leave the stone in or sprinkle with lime juice.
► Preparation: Use when the fruit is soft to the touch. Cut in half, remove the stone and skin before using the flesh.
