Avocado varieties and best uses
The conversions above are the same whatever variety you use; the difference is what each is good for. Here is how the common avocado varieties compare.
| Variety | Best for |
|---|---|
| Hass | Guacamole and toast: high oil, creamy, nutty; the year-round default. |
| Shepard | Salads and slicing: firm flesh that holds its shape and browns slowly once cut. |
| Fuerte | Slicing and salads: smooth thin skin, lighter buttery flavour. |
| Bacon | Early-season mashing: mild and light; softer flesh, less rich. |
| Reed | Guacamole in volume: large and round with rich, dense flesh. |
| Pinkerton | Dips: high flesh-to-seed ratio and easy to peel. |
Which should I pick?
For guacamole and toast, Hass is the standard: high oil, creamy, stocked year-round. No Hass? Reed or Pinkerton are similarly rich. For slices that hold their shape in salads, Shepard or Fuerte stay firm and turn brown more slowly.
