Varieties
Hass
With its rich, buttery flavor, it’s no surprise that the Hass is the hero of the avocado world. The Hass is distinguished by an excellent taste, a pebbly exterior and a thick, leathery skin that turns black when ripe. The fruit’s relatively small seed means it delivers a large percentage of flesh that makes it easier to peel and scoop. Grown in California, Chile, and Mexico, the Hass is available year-round.

| Lamb Hass
Sometimes Nature needs a hand, and the Lamb Hass is a prime example. A product of the University of California’s avocado breeding program during the mid-‘90s, the Lamb Hass is popular with growers because of its precocity, large size and high yield. Similar to the Hass, the Lamb Hass is an excellent tasting avocado that features a thick, pebbly skin that turns black when ripe. Available in the U.S. from California only, the Lamb Hass season is June through October. |

Reed
The Reed is a large, round avocado with good flavor. Possessing thick green skin and lots of high quality flesh, the Reed is an excellent option when consumers are looking for size or variety. California Reeds are available from May to September. |
