This thing is GIANT. When I first saw it I thought "Why are the mangos next to the avocados?" And then I took a closer look. I had to know what the deal was so I bought one. It was a little firm so I took it home a put it in a bag overnight.
I had forgotten about it until I came home after work this morning.
After cutting it open, it looks enough like a normal avocado.
Time to dig in.
No me gusta. 35% FEWER CALORIES. 50% LESS FAT. 100% LESS FLAVOR.
It wasn't bad. It just wasn't good. It didn't really taste like anything. I wasn't sure if that was it's deal or if it's because of the congestion I've been dealing with for the past couple of days.
I did a little research to see what the world knows about this freak-show. Turns out they're a normal avocado. Not genetically modified like I was worried about a little bit. They're grown in Florida where it's considerably more wet than where the normal avocados you would find in a grocery store are grown (typically California), which explains a lot. Watery vs. oily. Big vs. small. Smooth skin vs. rough skin. So go ahead and try it if you feel so inclined.
As for me, I'll stick with a good ol' California Hass.

Those are perfect pictures. I love it! As an avocado lover, I just can't imagine sacrificing flavor for some stupid calories. And they say that avocados are good fat- whatever that means, it helps me sleep at night. :-)
