Known as aguacate in kitchens across the Caribbean and Latin America, the tropical avocado tastes a lot like Hass, only a touch sweeter, with smooth light yellow-green flesh that spreads like butter. It stays green when ripe, so skip the color check and give it a gentle squeeze; a little give means it's ready. Cut flesh browns more slowly than many avocados, and a half wrapped in foil keeps in the fridge for two to three days.
Ours grow on a farm in the Dominican Republic, and during its off season they come from Florida, where we're based. This box brings you four large tropical avocados in the Regular box, or about eight in the Large. Every order ships with our Arrive Fresh Guarantee, so your avocados arrive whole and unbruised.

Best Ways to Enjoy Tropical Avocados
Guacamole for a Crowd
Mash one tropical avocado with lime juice, salt, onion, and cilantro, and you have enough guacamole for a full table. The creamy, slightly sweet flesh blends smoothly and holds its color longer, so the bowl still looks fresh halfway through the party.
Avocado Toast and Breakfast Bowls
Spread thick slices on warm toast with a pinch of flaky salt, or fan them over eggs, rice, and beans. Since a single fruit goes a long way, one avocado can cover breakfast for the whole family on a busy weekday morning.
Sliced into Salads and Sandwiches
Cube the buttery flesh into green salads, chopped salads, and grain bowls, or layer slices into sandwiches and wraps. Wrap the leftover half in foil and refrigerate it, and it stays ready for tomorrow's lunch for up to three days.
A Natural Pick for Hass Fans
If you already love Hass avocados, the tropical avocado gives you a familiar creamy texture with a sweeter, milder taste and far more fruit per piece. It suits big families, meal preppers, and anyone who goes through avocados quickly.
