Florida Avocados. If you've never tasted a Florida avocado - do it! I'm sure you've seen them at the grocery store. They look like extra large, green/smooth-skinned avocados. Inside they are less dense in texture than a traditional avocado - and the taste is buttery, sweet, nutty and almost fruit-like in a zesty, tropical way.
Avocados: Florida vs. California (traditional)

Cali: bumpy blackish thick skin
Florida: thin, green, smooth skin

Cali: Small, about the size of a smashed baseball
Florida: Larger, about the size of a smashed softball

Cali: Dark yellowish green flesh
Florida: Light green to lime yellow flesh

Cali: 1 cup pureed - 384 calories, 35g fat, 5g saturated fat, 5g protein, 16g fiber
Florida: 1 cup pureed - 276 calories, 23g fat, 5g saturated fat, 5g protein, 13g fiber


In general, Florida avocados have 50% less fat and 30% less calories than California avocados.
