Description

California Organic Avocados Delivered from Zava Ranch are “Hass” Variety:

Among California Organic Avocados, Hass Avocado is the most widely commercially grown variety that has been developed by a California farmer in 1926. Some sources say that ‘Hass’ avocados account for 95% of the USA’s avocados.

The popularity of ‘Hass’ avocado is attributed to a much higher fruit yield per tree producing fruit all year long. Some reports claim that ‘Hass’ avocados contains higher oil levels, giving them a longer shelf-life and better taste.

The Science of Avocados and Better Health

People love avocados, but they sometimes question if they should really eat them as often as they want to.

Thanks to nutrition research through the Avocado Nutrition Center, the answer is yes: consumers can and should eat avocados!

California Organic Avocados are a heart-healthy, nutrient-dense superfood!

Avocados are a source of vitamins C, E, K, and B6, as well as riboflavin, niacin, folate, pantothenic acid, magnesium, and potassium. They also provide lutein, beta carotene, and omega-3 fatty acids. Avocados contain high levels of healthy, beneficial fats, which can help a person feel fuller between meals.

Did you know that avocado has more potassium than a banana?

Additional nutritional information, educational materials, and recipes for California Organic Avocados is available from California Avocado Commission.

How do I know if my avocado is ripe and ready to eat?

Avocado is ready to eat when it yields slightly to gentle pressure, when it feels just a tiny bit soft, not hard (that would mean it is not ripe enough yet), and not squishy (that would mean it is overripe). Once cut, the right consistently of Hass organic avocado is similar to mousse or ice cream.  Avocados do not ripen on the tree and will usually ripen 7-14 days after harvest. At Zava Ranch we harvest avocados within 1-2 days of when your order was placed.  If there are no delays during shipment, you should still have a few days before avocado reaches perfect ripeness. The skin of Hass avocado will look dark green or almost black when it is ready to eat. However, skin color is not reliable indication that avocado is right. Softness is a more reliable indicator.

Is there a way to accelerate ripening of California organic avocados delivered from Zava Ranch?

The simplest way to ripen the avocado is to leave it on the counter for a few days. It will usually ripen in a few days and upto a week. However, if faster ripening time is desired, it is recommended to place avocado in a paper bag with an apple or a banana.  Close the paper bag and leave on the counter 24-48 hours. Periodically check for ripeness by applying gentle pressure and checking for uniform softness.

Ripe avocados need to be eaten as soon as possible and usually within 24 hours of reaching desired softness. Once the avocados have reached desired softness/ripeness, they can be stored in the refrigerator for several days.

California Organic Avocados might come in a variety of sizes:

California Organic Avocados grow on a tree in a variety of sizes. Larger and smaller avocados all grow on the same tree side by side. Since we strive to be a sustainable orchard and not waste perfectly good organic fruit, we pick what organic avocados are ripe on the tree at the time your order is harvested and do not sort by size.

For this reason you might receive a variety of sizes of organic avocados in your shipment.

Some avocados will be large, some will be small. We ensure that the fruit is ripe, all the sizes are equally healthy, delicious and nutritious.

California Organic Avocados from Zava Ranch are unwaxed and 100% unsprayed:

We do not spray or apply any kind of synthetic or chemical pesticides, fungicides, or nutrients/fertilizers to our organic avocados or anything we grow on our land.

California Organic Avocados from Zava Ranch are also Veganic:

We do not use any animal products or by-products with our organic avocados or anything we grow on our land.

We utilize veganic farming which eliminates farmed animal inputs, and instead relies only on plant-based materials as mulch, vegetable compost, green manure, chipped branched wood, crop rotation, polyculture, and other techniques that are sustainable and do not rely on the exploitation of animals.

Why are Organic Avocados shipped direct from California grower often not as pretty as fruit in the supermarket?

The reality is that truly organic, veganic, chemical-free and sustainably grown fruit is often not “pretty.” Because we don’t spray, wash, wax, or chemically-treat California organic avocados to achieve specific “marketable” appearance, our organic avocados might appear imperfect and might have visible cosmetic defects. This does not mean that fruit is bad. On the contrary, it shows that we are offering naturally-grown California organic avocados straight from the trees in our orchard – no washing, no sorting by size, no artificial ripening!

Why should I buy California Organic Avocados direct from grower?

There are many reason to buy California organic avocados direct from grower. Buying organic fruit directly from grower is a better choice that benefits both your own health and the health of our planet. Unfortunately, conventional avocado that is purchased at the grocery store has typically changed many hands over many weeks or often many months, from growers, to pickers, to packing houses, to storage, to distributors, to wholesalers, to retailers. Sometimes fruit is picked while it is still green, long before it reaches ripeness, to increase the time it can be stored and then chemically ripened as needed. As opposed to freshly harvested avocados shipped direct from grower, major California and Florida commercial shippers offer preconditioned avocados. Softening of avocados is triggered before shipment by ethylene treatment, then the fruit is refrigerated until delivered. That allows uniform softening with rapid turnover and immediate use. Fruit treated with ethylene can be stored up to two weeks.

Buying California organic avocados direct from grower is good for the environment.
