idk I’m not the one buying the groceries :dracthyr_a1:

Too expensive for how fast they go bad though. They are delicious though, when they haven’t gone bad.

Do avocados :avocado: actually have any flavor?

Avocados have a slightly creamy eggy sorta flavour (hard to explain). But it’s fantastic. You have to get them at just the right second they’re ripe though, one second too early or late and they’re ruined.

The Avocado Index is high currently. $1.50 each for a good one. They have the bags of small ones for $3.00 but I usually only get those if I’m making homemade guacamole.

I don’t buy fresh anymore. Costco has Avocado mash packs for cheep. 12 2ox cups for like $10 or something. Gotten too many bad one from the produce section.

I had a neighbor with an avocado tree when I was a kid and we got more of those things than we could reasonably eat for free.
Don’t know what you got til it’s gone.

I’m not sure my local store stocks avocados, but considering that the bowl ramen are $4.99 each… I wouldn’t be surprised if they were > $3.00 / ea

as much as 1.99 sometimes and sometimes you can get them 3 for 5

California grows 95% of America’s avocados, btw. Big reason why they’re so cheap, here.

Other fun California facts, all quoted from the USDA:

  • California is the most productive agricultural state in the nation. California has been the nation’s No. 1 agricultural producer and exporter for 50 years
  • California is the nation’s sole producer (99 percent or more) of a
    large number of specialty crops, including almonds, artichokes, dried plums, figs, olives, persimmons, pomegranates, raisins, and walnuts
  • California produces about half of U.S.-grown fruits, nuts and vegetables

Produce is pretty cheap, here.

nom nom nom

74 cents at my local Walmart, but their produce is usually pretty beat up. The other option is Publix. The produce is usually better there, but $1.83 is a big price difference.
