how to choose the perfect avocado from mexico
Finding the perfect Hass Avocado from Mexico at your local grocer or supermarket is easy, just follow these steps.
Recognize your Hass
You can spot a ripe Hass Avocado from Mexico by its green-black pebbly textured skin.
Look for the "Avocados from Mexico" sticker
It appears on only the finest Avocados imported from Mexico.
Hass has heft
When you hold the Avocado, it should feel heavy for its size and have no mushy spots.
Get it ripe
Avocados mature on the tree, but they soften and develop their fullest flavor after picking. You can count on a firm green Avocado to ripen within three to four days. If the skin is a mottled color – green with black patches – it will be ready for use in a shorter time, two to three days.
Need your Avocado now?
If you need Avocados to use right away, look for fruit whose skin has turned dark green or black. The Avocado should yield to gentle pressure from a thumb.
