Review of Avocados Shepard 5 Pack

The Shepard avocado 5-pack delivers a very different experience to the classic Hass. These green-skinned avocados stay firm even when ripe and don’t brown quickly, which is great for salads and sandwiches. They tend to have a mildly sweet, nutty flavour and hold their shape well when sliced. Pros: slower to oxidise once cut, versatile in cooking, and less mushy than Hass; generally reliable quality in season. Cons: many find them harder to judge ripeness and less creamy, with a firmer texture that isn’t ideal for smash or guacamole. Overall, a solid choice if you prefer structure over ultra-creamy avocados.
