Hass
Avocados
 In the late 1920's, a postman by the name of
Mr. Rudolph Hass purchased a seedling tree and planted
it in his orchard in La Habra Heights, California. This
tree became the mother tree of Hass Avocados; every Hass
Avocado in the world can trace its lineage to this tree.
The Hass Avocado is a fruit and is distinctive for its
skin that turns from green to purplish-black when ripe.
It has pale green flesh and is very easy to peel. While
there are dozens of varieties of Avocados, the Hass
variety is by far the most favored due to its high oil
content and full bodied, nutty flavor.
Preparation: Avocados are most popular for their use
in guacamole but are delicious when added to salads and
salsa. Oxidation (exposure to air) can cause Avocados to
turn brown but you can delay this process by squeezing
lemon or lime juice on the Avocado, adding the seed back
into your guacamole and placing it in an air-tight
container.
