Avocado Varieties

Yes, there are more than two (as in, not just black or green!)  

Once again, I will admit being spoiled by living in So Cal and having several different types grown literally at my doorstep; however, in many other parts of the world, there are just as many, if not more, of this savory, rich fruit available in abundance!

Just a few types to consider are as follows, courtesy of avocado.org :

Bacon
Fuerte
Gwen
Hass
Lamb
Hass
Pinkerton
Reed
Zutano 

One of the best sources of fat for those of us who opt to live Paleo, delicious and versatile, they truly are a must-eat in all of our daily menu!   Make yourself some homemade guac, blend some into a smoothie or cut it in half, scoop out the pit, drizzle some lime in the cavity and eat it with a spoon.  Stand alone, a truly decadent Paleo treat.
