Avocados from Mexico are developed and perfected using a unique method. First, each avocado is harvested by hand. Once picked by the farmers, not all avocados make the cut though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once picked, the avocados travel a short journey to the packing house, where samples from each batch are sliced and tasted to ensure only the perfect \u2018cados make it to the next step (shipped to you!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The packing house\nis where the avocados are primped and pampered. Each fruit is washed and\nbrushed until their natural wax shines through. After, they receive another\nquality check from a camera that detects skin imperfections and differences in\nsize. They are then shipped to your store within a few short days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though not\nevery avocado passes the imperfection test, there is no waste \u2013 the avocados\nthat aren\u2019t store ready will be turned into incredible guac. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, the oil content is perfectly tested in Mexico\nto reach a specified level, whereas other areas that produce avocados don\u2019t\nhave the same rigorous standards. This is another key reason that these\navocados are extra tasty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With these rigorous quality tests, it is Avocado\u2019s from\nMexico\u2019s commitment to deliver the creamiest, tastiest and best quality\navocados right to your kitchen. The\ngrowers and packers work tirelessly in order to keep avocados a year-round\nstaple in your home!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
