This is a Reed avocado. It is ripe when soft, and will stay this color. Cut in half, and it will remain ripe for about a week in a fridge. While hass avocados look horrible after an hour, these Reeds, and Pinkerton avocados are much better tasting, and dont get funky like the commercial hass avocado. I buy mine at farmer's markets. Same type of fruit, avocado, but completely different in many ways. I cut open a hass and if not eaten right away, I throw the rest away. I keep a Pinkerton or Reed for close to week if not eaten right away. Try a Bacon avocado. Or Sir Prize avocado. Lots of different varieties. Most of these varieties were not commercial hits as the Reed confused people as its ripe when still green. It just gets soft when ripe. And tastes much better than hass or fuerte in my family's opinion. (And everyone else that I've taste tested with). First time I ever tasted one came from Odins house. Been addicted to Reeds and Pinkertons ever since. Just add salsa and everyone who has eaten the guac loves it. I make 2 different kinds of guac in a couple min. with herdes salsa and the mango peach salsa.
