Green and dark-skinned avocados are available in South Africa almost all year round and the good news is that whichever colour avo you choose, they\u2019re all equally delicious and nutritious!<\/h3>\n

The buttery, creamy green-skinned avo varieties Fuerte, Edranol, Ryan, Reed and Pinkerton are available from March until October, and the rich, nutty dark-skinned Hass, Maluma Hass and Lamb Hass from March until November.<\/p>\n

\"\"Remember that green-skinned avos remain green when ripe, while the dark-skinned avos turn purple-black when ready to eat. Even though avocados may vary in colour, shape and size, they are all a source of nutrients and can be included as part of a healthy eating plan.<\/p>\n

When it comes to getting creative in the kitchen, dark-skinned and green-skinned avos shine equally brightly, as there\u2019s no end to their uses in snacks, light meals, starters, main meals, desserts, bakes and even sweet treats.<\/p>\n

So, no matter what you\u2019re planning for your next meal, add an avo \u2013 green or dark \u2013 for double the deliciousness!<\/p>\n
