They are Hass, Lamb Hass, Gwen, Reed, or Sharwil , Bacon and Zutano.. Bacon and Zutano varieties are light in flavor. Others have a nutty taste. Good avacados can be first identified by its color.Ripe avacado looks dark green to black in color.. Some varieties look light green in color. When you want to examine them. Take an avacado and keep it in ur palm. Just press it lightly.Do not use ur finger tips as it may bruise them. If it gives slightly , it is ready to eat. If it is over ripe, pressing them gives a mushy feeling and ur fnger may sink into the skin.  If the skin is hard to touch and if it doesn’t give , the avacado is not ripe yet.

Avocados can be stored in a refrigerator until eaten to slow the ripening process. Avocados with the highest oil content are the Hass, Pinkerton, Sharwil and Fuerte varieties.
