Avocados are tree-ripened so that their true taste and flavour are retained. Shaped like bells or pears, these exotic fruits have light green skins, which turn dark green or deep purple when the fruits mature. Buttery and creamy or light green flesh delights with a distinct nutty flavour and special aroma.
