ugly [ uhg-lee ]
Want to know what we mean by ‘Ugly’ Avos? Like many fruits and vegetables exported around the world, the best prices are obtained for the fruit with the least, or no, imperfections. Avocados are no different – if it isn’t absolutely perfect on the outside it can’t be exported. These avocados, sometimes referred to as ‘seconds’, are usually set aside and turned into avocado oil or other products, or left for the birds.
Imperfections can be ridging in the skin, or black marks where the skin has rubbed on another avocado or a branch. Sometimes there are small marks from insects as well. Be assured, what is under the skin is the same creamy, green goodness as a perfect avocado.
Avoexpress ‘Ugly’ Avos are still delicious, they just don’t look quite perfect on the outside.
A word of warning though – sometimes after a big windstorm you’ll see avocados being sold cheaply. In many instances these are windfall avocados which will mostly develop bruising inside the fruit. Avoexpress will never sell you windfall avos – that way we know your avocado will always be perfect inside.
