Reed avocados are a medium to large varietal, averaging 250 grams to 650 grams in weight, but can sometimes become as heavy as 900 grams The variety has a round, oval, to obolid appearance and is typically larger and greener than the commercially popular Hass avocado. The skin remains a forest green, even when ripe, and is thick, leathery, and tough with a semi-smooth, pebbled, textured feel. The skin is also covered in tiny, pale green lenticels and retains a structured, shell-like nature, making it ideal as a serving container but challenging to peel. Underneath the surface, the yellow-green flesh is solid, dense, and firm, with a smooth, creamy, buttery, and less oily consistency. The flesh also encases a relatively large round, brown seed, but the seed size is not overly dominant as the fruit is much larger than standard avocados. The seed does not adhere to the flesh, and in some ripe fruits, the seeds will loosen and rattle when shaken. Reed avocados are ripe when they have a slight give to their surface. The skin's coloring will not change, and the flesh will only be lightly soft, as a very soft texture is a sign of over-ripeness. The stem button can also be popped off to reveal a portion of the flesh. If it is bright yellow-green, it is ripe. Reed avocados have a rich taste, considered more robust than most commercial cultivars, and have a nutty undertone, giving the flesh a bolder flavor.
Reed avocadoes are generally available in the summer through early fall. Occasionally, they can also be found as early as the late spring and extend into the winter, depending on the year and growing environment.
Nutritional Value
Reed avocados have not been extensively studied for their nutritional properties. Like other avocados, the variety is a source of fiber to regulate the digestive tract, potassium to balance fluid levels within the body, and vitamin E to act as an antioxidant to protect the cells from damage caused by oxidative stress and free radicals. The avocados also provide magnesium to support optimal nerve functioning, vitamin K to assist in faster wound healing, and other nutrients, including folic acid, biotin, riboflavin, and thiamin.
