Box of 9 Hass Avocados

Avocado Hass
History and origin: The Hass avocado from the Canary Islands is an unmistakable symbol of the island. Its history dates back to the 18th century, when the avocado was bred in Central America. Since then, it has become an important part of the diet and is known for its nutritional value and rich taste. The Canary Islands, with their warm subtropical climate and fertile soil, provide an ideal environment for the growth and development of quality Hass avocados.

Benefits:

Hass avocados are rich in healthy fats, vitamins and minerals, making them an excellent choice for a healthy diet. It is rich in monounsaturated fats, which help lower bad cholesterol and support heart health. It is also rich in vitamins B, C, E and K, important for the immune system, healthy skin and nervous system.

Recognizing Maturity:

Avocados do not soften on the tree, but after harvest. However, the longer it stays on the tree, the more fat it contains, resulting in a creamier and more delicious taste. Its maturity is then determined by the slightly matte coating, which is the best sign of suitability for harvesting.
Thanks to the short transport time, we can harvest avocados at the optimal stage of ripeness, which ensures the best taste and quality. The specific climate and volcanic soil of the Canary Islands give Canarian avocados a unique taste and visual character that distinguishes them from avocados from other parts of the world. A properly soft Hass avocado is easy to identify. It should be slightly compressible, but not too much. The color of the rind should be dark brown to black, and when you remove the stem, there should be green flesh underneath.

We always try to send avocados firm so that they soften at your home. Otherwise, there is a very high risk of knocking and damage along the way.
