I always avoid alligator pears. They have a rough texture and a bite to them.

A few years back, I tasted them for the first time.
I wish I would have known about them so much sooner. I make the best Italian style guacamole dip with them.

I'm neutral when it comes to avocados. I neither like nor dislike the flavor. My wife, however, is almost cultish when it comes to them. She actually took the pits from a pair of store-bought avocados last year, prepped and planted them, and she now has two small avocado trees in large pots, one of which has multiple branches, and 2nd trunk, and is almost three feet tall! Now, whether they fruit or not (and what the fruit will taste like if they do) is another matter.

Look like Haas avocados to me.

Goji berries
Noni fruit
Pomegranates
All these “super fruit” that are really just nutritious fruit that are about as good as some others more readily available, but it is novel, so let’s hype it, sell it for a fortune, and when the hype fades, find another.

The same thing is seen with cosmetics; in the US, they say “latest thing from Europe”, in the EU, they say “The latest thing from America”. In Asia, they can pick either one.

Mirlitons?

For years and years I would buy 3 or 4 avocados and put them on the counter to ripen...50% would end up brown and mushy. I was told to never put them in the refrigerator. When you buy 5 or 6 at a time that’s a problem. Last year I put 5 in fridge and one on the counter. It ripened, I ate it, perfect. Took next avocado out and in three days it was ready...perfect. Took next avocado out...perfect. They would stay perfect in the fridge for weeks. WHO KNEW! All those wasted avocados and years. I asked around in the family and they do the same bad thing I did for years.
