Convert Avocado from Kilograms to Whole Avocados
Avocado converter
Use the tool below to convert avocado from Kilograms to Whole Avocados.
A small avocado is barely over half the weight of a large one, so 'two avocados' in a guacamole recipe can swing the yield a lot. Pick the right size below to keep dips and toast on target.
How many avocados are in a kilogram?
A kg of avocados is about 5 medium avocados, based on a medium avocado of 200 g. Small avocados push that figure up and large ones bring it down, so set the size selector to match what you have, then read the exact count above.
Making guacamole or a salad? The tomato converter works out whole-item counts and chopped cups across small, medium, and large sizes. See our Tomato converter.
Need cucumber too? The cucumber converter handles whole-item counts and chopped cups across small, medium, and large sizes. See our Cucumber converter.
No scale? The tool below gives a good estimate, but for exact bakes a digital kitchen scale removes the guesswork.
Enter an amount, pick your units, and set the size for counting whole avocados.

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. Buy them firm and ripen on the counter; a Hass is ready once the skin darkens and yields to gentle pressure.
