The Hass Avocado

Hass avocado trees provide delectable, creamy, nutty fruit, accounting for 80% of all avocados consumed worldwide.

The Hass avocado is a dark green–colored avocado cultivar with rough skin.

The Hass avocado is a huge fruit that weighs between 200 and 300 grams. When the fruit is fully ripe, the skin turns a dark purplish-black color and yields to light pressure. It becomes white-green in the middle of the inner fruit when it’s ready to eat.

The Hass cultivar is the most commercially popular avocado globally due to its taste, size, shelf life, high growing yield, and, in some locations, year-round harvesting.

The Fuerte Avocado

The Fuerte Avocado is a medium to large fruit with an elongated pyriform (pear) shape and a weight of 5 to 16 ounces. It has a smooth, easy-to-peel skin and a rich, yellow flesh that contains 18 percent oil.

It has a rich, creamy flavor with hazelnut undertones and a lemony, green finish.

Fuerte Avocados are medium in size, a touch larger than Hass avocados. The skin is green, with only a few faint bumps and yellow specks, and it stays green even when fully ripe. As the fruit ripens, black patches emerge on the skin if it has been mishandled.

N/B

Fuerte is, like Hass, green when unripe. Unlike Hass, Fuerte is also green when it is fully mature and ripe.
