Fuerte Avocado

Description

Fuerte avocados have a pear-like shape, similar to that of an Ettinger or Pinkerton avocado. They vary in size significantly, weighing 170 to 450 grams, and have a dark green hue with small yellow dots, developing occasional black spots when they become very ripe. Their medium-thin skin has a bumpy yet smooth and pliable texture, not adhering well to the flesh but allowing it to peel easily. The light green flesh of Fuerte avocados is oily with a creamy, smooth texture and relatively little fiber. Inside the flesh is a large, brown, teardrop-shaped seed that occupies a significant portion of the bottom of the fruit. Fuerte avocados have a rich, buttery, and creamy flavor with notes of hazelnut.
