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.

VarietyBest for
HassGuacamole and toast: high oil, creamy, nutty; the year-round default.
ShepardSalads and slicing: firm flesh that holds its shape and browns slowly once cut.
FuerteSlicing and salads: smooth thin skin, lighter buttery flavour.
BaconEarly-season mashing: mild and light; softer flesh, less rich.
ReedGuacamole in volume: large and round with rich, dense flesh.
PinkertonDips: 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. Buy them firm and ripen on the counter; a Hass is ready once the skin darkens and yields to gentle pressure.
