Found out my university is full of avocado trees and, when it's in season, I love getring frer avocado from the ground. Most taste similar to the Hass, but I've had some more watery and fibrous ones, including one that tasted somewhat sweet a fruity! It's always a pretty interesting experience

In my agricultural studies days (1980s) we used to classify avocados into Caribbean and Guatemala races, so what the vendors are calling Dominican might be the Caribbean race; you could find fruit from 4% fat all the way to 20% and every one had their favourite.

@@StonedtotheBones13 Very few do; in order to achieve that effect, you need to do some pretty aggressive breeding to make certain that the plants are perfect clones, so that any further breeding will not result in different genes being passed down to their offspring. The alternative is with some specific plants that do not exhibit significant biodiversity with regards to their fruit, which means that growing from seed won't produce radically different fruit, and which basically means the aforementioned step has already been undertaken for us in advance by nature instead. (In this context, it is important to explain that by "clone," we specifically mean that the chromosomes of the plants in question are, in fact, composed of two identical copies of the same genes.)

I lot of people use avacados to make chocolate pudding. It's easy to do. You just mix some honey or sugar with the avocado and blend some cocoa powder and melted chocolate into it, with a food processor or mixer. From what you described in this video, it sounds like the last one might be really good for this purpose.

Surely in Costa Rica it is like here, throughout the year there is a great variation in the availability of varieties of avocados, of all sizes, colors and flavor profiles. I've always found it strange that in the United States people don't put salt in avocados. The normal thing in Venezuela is to add a pinch of salt and thus the true flavor of one variety or another is awakened.

I have been looking at your videos, they're as fun as they are informative, even for locals such as I when you're doing videos in Costa Rica. Non hass avocado varieties have a zero chance of being frozen at some point, and that's a big plus. If we have a yard, and we get a particularly good avocado chances are we will try to plant the seed. Thus, naming of the varieties other than hass is more of a marketing thing of the seller.

Thanks Jared. I think they sell a wide varity Avocados in America under the Hass name. I go to the store and some weeks the avocados are red, other weeks the are roiund as que balls. Some are all yelllow inside, while other are green as peas. I love your travels. The British used to be just crazy for travel books. They wrote all kinds. Something to do with the sun never setting. I don't get it. Anywho, I remember reading this one travel book that gave advise for dozens of countries, and regions of the world. I'm desperately looking for one that I read as teen. It had a deceptive title that made it almost impossible to remember or tell what was inside. One part told of buying these gem stones for sucking on. They are expensive, but great at preventing dry mouth when you're nervous. So, when you're going through customes, you suck on the stones. There is a side benefit to the stones. When you get home, you can sell them, and buy a house. Remember, often the seller will inform the inspection agent you have these stones, so if need be, you can swallow them. The book was full of great advise, and all of it was profitable. If I find it, I'll let you know.

For the Guacamole: Chop the onion fine and let it marinate with lemon or lime or sour-orange juice for 10 min (sour-orange juice is the best). Meanwhile, chop the vegetable you do want to add to the Guac like tomato or cucumber then add it to the onion, then add the cubed avocado, cilantro leaves, ground cilantro seeds and salt to the last moment. chopped Jalapeño o Serrano pepper is optional for a spicy hot Guacamole. BTW there are many native/local Avocado varieties all over Latinamerica with a much better flavor than the commercial ones. I do get one endemic specie of avocado which is big (750 gr), round, thick skin one that can be kept in the fridge for a week without getting dark and it flavor is nutty and slightly sweet.

Also, plenty of avocado varieties in the USA -- maybe not on the East coast, but just about any grocery store chain I go to in So Cal has about 3 varieties. Bacon is another very popular variety. And I often see red ones (not sure what type those are) at grocery stores. Of course many more varieties at farmers markets and such.
