Why Are Some Avocados Bumpy

Avocados naturally have a defense mechanism that allows a wound to the skin to be “corked off” resulting in pebble-like nodes in the pulp. The bumps are not harmful.

Should avocados be smooth or bumpy?

The texture of the skin should have a slightly bumpy texture. When you apply pressure to the avocado, it should still be somewhat firm. After a day or two at room temperature, these avocados will be ripe and ready for you to enjoy!

What is the difference between a Hass avocado and a Florida avocado?

The biggest difference between a Hass avocado and a Florida avocado comes down to calories; Florida avocados are lower in fat and therefore have an overall lower calorie count. This may sound like a no-brainer, but Florida avocados are much milder in flavor due to their lacking in fat content.
