Just in time for serious Big Game Sunday snacking is the Tropical Avocado as the base for that special guacamole. Also on the menu are Sapurana Mangoes, Jackfruit Pods, Organic EZ Open Young Coconuts (available year-round,) Charentais Melons and lots more…

“Melissa’s Tropical Avocados are a large green-skinned, water-based variety that is available year-round out of the Dominican Republic. The pale green flesh of the fruit features that classic creamy avocado flavor you know and love but has a slightly firmer texture when compared to Hass.”

“The firm flesh of Melissa’s Tropical Avocados makes them great for slicing and adding to sandwiches or salads, or dice and mix into your favorite ceviche recipes. The large size makes this an excellent variety for families – you can spend less time prepping multiple avocados when you can use one Tropical Avocado. You’ll appreciate the slow oxidation. Use part of the avocado, and then store the rest without it turning brown too quickly.”
