Avocado each

Avocado each

Our Avocados have that classic pebbled, dark-green skin protecting rich, creamy flesh with a mild, nutty flavour. Unlike most fruit, they're prized for their buttery texture rather than sweetness, making them as much a kitchen staple as a snack. Part of our Fresh Fruits range, each one is selected at a stage where it will ripen properly over the following days.

Storage Guide

Ripen avocados at room temperature, they're ready when the flesh gives slightly to gentle pressure near the stem. Once ripe, store in the fridge and use within a few days. To slow ripening, keep them away from other fruit; to speed it up, place near a banana.

How to Choose a Good Avocado

For ripe fruit, look for skin that gives slightly under gentle pressure without feeling mushy. For later use, choose firmer avocados and ripen them at home over a few days.

Seasonal Availability

Avocados are typically available year-round, with supply remaining consistent throughout the seasons.
