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.
