Buy Tropical Avocados Fruit UK

Tropical avocados are now available in the UK — larger, smoother, and more refreshing than common varieties, with creamy flesh and a hint of sweetness.

What are Tropical Avocados?

Unlike the smaller Hass avocado, tropical avocados (sometimes called green-skin avocados) are native to the Caribbean, South America, and parts of Asia. They are prized for their bright green, glossy skin, lower oil content, and lighter, refreshing flavour.

These avocados are usually larger than supermarket types, with flesh that is creamy yet slightly firmer, making them excellent for slicing, salads, and sandwiches. For UK avocado lovers, tropical avocados offer a unique gourmet twist on a familiar favourite.

How to Choose, Ripen & Store Avocados

1. Choose carefully: Skin should be glossy and firm, softening as it ripens.

2. Ripen naturally: Leave at room temperature until slightly soft to the touch.

3. Cut & prepare: Slice lengthwise, twist open, remove the seed, and scoop out the flesh.

4. Storage: Refrigerate ripe avocados for 2–3 days. To save cut fruit, drizzle with lemon juice and wrap tightly.
