Avocados
Organic
Kenya
Available for pre-order from: Winter
Fresh avocados of the Hass variety from multiple regions north of Nairobi. The family farmers who grow them do not irrigate their fields – a rarity in avocado cultivation.
Avocados are among the fruits that continue to ripen after being harvested. You will find instructions on how to ripen the still-hard fruit in your delivery as well as here on this page under storage and shelf life.

How much is that?
3.8 kilos are about 12 to 26 avocados. The number varies depending on the size of the fruit.
Use & preparation
- Fresh avocado on bread with a little lime juice and salt and pepper. A little nut puree rounds off the dish.
- Sweet in a smoothie or make into corn chips as a classic guacamole: Mash ripe avocados with a fork, season with lime juice, salt and pepper.
Storage & shelf life
When stored in the vegetable drawer of your refrigerator at a cool temperature, the fruit keeps for about 10 days. Store the avocados that you would like to eat within the next few days at room temperature in a paper bag together with an apple. If the flesh gives slightly when pressed, the fruit is ripe. Check the avocados for bruises and minor damage as soon as you receive them. If you find mould, remove the affected fruits from the crate.
