I usually make guacamole using Hass avocados but California avocados were on
sale so I bought them instead.
Anybody know if they will they work as well as the Hass in making guacamole?
thanks

Hass are Califiornia avacados. They taste much better than Fuerte which is
what you have.

California avocado means it was grown in California. Hass is grown in
California and I prefer it for most uses, but if I'm going to smush it
up for guacamole I don't care what variety it is - I just want it to
be ripe. http://www.avocado.org/avocado-variety-browser/

A few years ago a large Florida avocado was being touted as "lower fat"
(I don't remember if it was Fuerte or not.) It was lower in fat and
MUCH lower in flavor. The ad campaign didn't last long and there didn't
seem to be much demand for the product because I no longer see them around..

For guacamole it doesn't matter which avocado.

Okay, I do not disagree with Sheldon as often as many people here

You've obviously never eaten guacamole, you likely haven't a clue what
it is.

No, Sheldon is right. It doesn't matter what kind of avocado you use
for guacamole, if you have TIAD. In fact, he's posted a number of times
on this group that it tastes just as good with no avocado at all, just
anything green and mushy.

There are several varietals of avocado, but any can be used for
guacomole and no one can tell the difference. It's near impossible to
differenciate when mashed with no ingredients added, all one can do is
guess.

Gotta disagree. California avocados are creamy, buttery and flavorful.
Florida varieties are...not.

It's harder to tell the difference once you add all the garlic,
jalapeno, salt, etc. but tasted plain there's a big difference.
Hawaiian avocados are even tastier and huge in comparison.

There are several varieties and they're grown in several locations
world wide... many sold in CA are not grown there. The avocado is not
even native to CA. The original CA Hass is believed to have
originated in Guatamala.

Again, once they're mashed no one can tell which one comes from where,
and they're always different ripeness too so you can't go by
texture... you have as much chance of guessing which avocado in mashed
avocado as you do which peanuts in PB.

Yes, there is a good reason why the Florida avocados are always much
less expensive. Anyone who has ever eaten a Haas avocado would
immediately know if a Florida one was substituted.

Shoprite had both.. One was Hass avocados at 2 for 5 bucks and California
avocados at 2 for 3 bucks.. The difference was the Hass were dark and had
pebbled skins and the California were smooth skinned and were light green in
color..

And as I always say, if you had one of the varieties from Kona where
avocados LOVE to grow- you'd lose your mind. But the Hass cooperative
keeps our avocados from even leaving Hawaii. Fruit fly- THEY claim but
the truth is the flavor!!!

And the Calvado(?) PAC puts too much money into their system to even
allow the Hawaii ones to be tasted.

I don't get it(?)! Fruit flies already exist in the 48! Avocados are
good (albeit usually expensive!), and it'd be great to try one from
Hawaii. Heck, I didn't even know there were other avocado varieties
other than Haas & Calvado.

They're simply called avocados. California grows many kinds of
avocado, it's not necessary to mention California... in fact many
avocados sold in CA are imported from Mexico and Central America. When
I lived in CA only the price was posted, folks there who buy avocado
know what type by looking and season. Most avocados have a season.
Hass are the only type harvested all year but those sold in CA are not
necessarily grown in CA, many CA Hass are exported to other locations
because they bring a higher price elsewhere. Most Hass avocados sold
in CA are imported from Mexico. Most of the produce industry is like
that, they sell the culls locally but the best of the crop are shipped
to where they bring the most profit. Even the meat industry does the
same... restuarants in Chicago and NYC serve better beef than one
finds in TX and CO eateries... cattlemen sell where they make the most
profit.

I haven't noticed that. There's a beautiful selection of artichokes at
the farm stands around Castroville. You can watch the artichokes
growing a few feet away.

I'm talking about grocery stores not farm stands. My SIL who lives in
NYC tells me all the time about how big & beautiful the artichokes are
and that they're from Calif.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artichoke

"In the United States, California provides nearly 100% of the U.S. crop,
and approximately 80 percent of that is grown in Monterey County; there,
Castroville proclaims itself to be "The Artichoke Center of the World",
and holds an annual artichoke festival."

I'm not surprised that your SIL gets artichokes from California!

If you want big artichokes, buy them from Costco. I've never seen
bigger, even at the farm stands that stock 10 different sizes. Safeway
sometimes sells pretty large artichokes, although at a premium price,
even with their "card".

I found artichokes the size of a softball (maybe they were bigger)
last summer and decided they were pretty much tasteless, so I'm not
looking for them anymore.

And here is Ken Love's fabulous poster of Hawaii's avocados! WARNING!
It is 39 inches by 27, so it is hard to see on a computer, but it is
beautiful- so if you want one to decorate your kitchen wall by placing

I am sure Ken would be happy to send you one for a small sum. The guy
works extremely hard to promote Hawaii's abundant fruit. He's an
angel.

FYI, now we have Sharwil avocados dropping from our tree, and in the
winter, we have super-delicious Kahaluu Avocados.

Okay, there you go. We live in avocado heaven.

Most of ALL fresh produce you buy in CA is from Mexico and elsewhere.
Most CA produce is exported and/or processed (canned/frozen). ALL
agricultural states export most of their production to areas where
it's out of season and/or isn't produced, and shipped quickly before
it spoils... agri business is like any other business, products are
shipped to where they bring the highest profits. Californians won't
pay the high price of avocados they'll bring in Chicago and NY...
Mexico produces avocados much cheaper than CA and they also ship
everywhere but CA is so close that thay get more than most... you can
buy Mexican avocados in CA for a lower price than you can buy CA
avocados in CA. Cheri, it's very fitting that your parents gave you
an airhead name... you're almost as ignorant/uneducated as the baboon
assface IDIOT.

California hass avocado season is from January to October.

Because we love to eat everything year round hass avocados grown in
Mexico are imported to fill the gap.

Mexico's avocado season nearly year round.

Where the avocados in your local store come from likely depends upon
where one lives and where your grocer likes to shop.

If anyone wants to grow the plant from the 'seed', the Florida
avocados make the better plant. I have one which is abt 5 years old,
with many 'branches' and offshoots. I tried a Calif. avo and the
plant was tall and spindly.

I could be ****ing down my leg here, but I think most people who
responded really misunderstood your statement to mean avocados labeled
'California grown' were actually from Mexico.

As far as whether or not more Mexico avos are sold than California
avos per year, I don't really know, nor do I care.

Websites that have nice charts and graphs aren't always the best
source of info. And that one doesn't have any info to back up your
assertion. I'm just sayin'

a brilliant argument, as always, sheldon. have you ever admitted being
wrong? after all, you've had plenty of opportunities.

And good riddance. They don't sell them here in St. Louis anymore either from what I've seen. It's hard to find a perfectly ripe avocado here, and many are so under-ripe that they will never be perfect. If you buy an unripened one, you are best off monitoring it until it starts to soften, then refrigerate it for a few days so it ripens slowly and evenly. We got back from vacation yesterday, so our taco night couldn't include avocado
