Hass Avocados
What are Avocados
The most delicious of avocado varieties, the Hass Avocado is a fan favorite. The characteristic rich taste and smooth texture of Hass avocados makes it perfect for all types of cuisines and dishes. The most popular avocado variety, with over 95% of avocados consumed in the United States being Hass, the Hass avocado comes from recent and humble beginnings. The first Hass avocado tree was a lucky mistake discovered by Mr. Rudolph Hass in the 1920’s. As a result of the superior taste and high yield of the fruit, the Hass avocados’ popularity soared quickly, soon surpassing the sales of other avocado varieties. While mostly grown in California, Hass avocados are available year-round in grocery stores and farmers markets. Healthy Acres is a proud grower of high-quality Hass avocados.
Benefits of Avocados
Hass avocados, in addition to being a delicious and popular fruit, are also considered superfoods due to a high nutritional content. Hass avocados are nutrient dense, containing significant levels of “dietary fiber, potassium, magnesium, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E”, among other valuable nutrient requirements. This, in combination with a low sugar content, has led researchers to believe that avocados can support cardiovascular health, weight management, blood glucose control, and healthy aging.
