To my family, the Tropical Avocado has always been known as an Aguacate, pronounced (ah-gwa-kah-tee). This variety is a staple food in the Caribbean and Latin America where it’s been the most popular variety for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTropical Avocados are also known as green skin avocados because of their shiny and gorgeous shade of green. They are a source of good fats, are hearty, yummy, and are full of nutrients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do Tropical Avocados taste like?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen it comes to taste, they are pretty similar to the Haas avocado although slightly sweeter. They are creamy, luscious, and delicious. They spread very easily and have a buttery and creamy smooth texture. They have a light yellow and green color inside, and the seed can be brittle but that’s OK. The reality is that they are very similar to the avocados you are used to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow are Tropical Avocados better?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLarger in size: The first thing you’ll notice is that they are humongous compared to the varieties you can buy at the supermarket.

The Tropical Avocados oxidize much slower which means that you can cut them and leave them out for longer. You can even keep one in the fridge wrapped in foil for two to three days after you cut them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do you know when they are ripe?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese avocados are ripe while the skin is still green, which is a little confusing if you are not used to them. Luckily, there is a simple way to know when they are ready. How? When you squeeze them and they give in just a little, they are ready to eat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere are they from?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese avocados are grown in the tropics on a beautiful farm in the Dominican Republic and in the off season over there, they come from beautiful and sunny Florida, where we are based.
