Avocado Pinkerton

Discover the exceptional Avocado Pinkerton, a distinctive variety prized by avocado enthusiasts for its generous size and creamy, buttery flesh that makes it perfect for both everyday meals and special culinary creations. The Pinkerton avocado stands out with its elongated, pear-like shape and dark green, pebbly skin that develops from its Guatemalan heritage. This variety typically weighs between 8-18 ounces, making it significantly larger than common Hass avocados. The flesh offers a rich, nutty flavor with subtle earthy undertones and an incredibly smooth, creamy texture that's ideal for spreading, mashing, or slicing. Pinkerton avocados have a smaller seed relative to their size, providing more delicious fruit per avocado. This versatile fruit excels in Mexican, Californian, and contemporary fusion cuisines. Use Pinkerton avocados to create exceptional guacamole, creamy avocado toast, or smooth additions to smoothies and salads. Their substantial size makes them perfect for stuffed avocado recipes, while their rich flavor enhances everything from sushi rolls to breakfast bowls. The creamy texture works beautifully in baked goods as a butter substitute, and they pair wonderfully with citrus, tomatoes, and fresh herbs. When selecting Pinkerton avocados, choose fruits that yield slightly to gentle pressure. Store unripe avocados at room temperature to ripen, then refrigerate to slow the process. Their extended harvest season from late fall through spring makes them a reliable choice for consistent quality and availability.
