The Hass avocado, sometimes marketed as the Haas avocado, is a cultivar of avocado with dark green coloured, bumpy skin. It was first grown and sold by Southern California mail carrier and amateur horticulturist Rudolph Hass, who also gave it his name. | The Hass avocado, sometimes marketed as the Haas avocado, is a cultivar of avocado with dark green coloured, bumpy skin.

==A neat trick to ripen avocado pears== | |||
Supermarket ''ready-to-eat'' avocado pears are twice the price of unripe avocados but most times you need them to be ripe the day you buy them. This great trick shown to me by a fruit farmer allows you to ripen them to order. It's similar to using an old Victorian fruit store - the cold halts the ripening process. | |||
Place the unripe pears in the fridge until a few days before you need them. Storing them in a cool dark place prevents them ripening any further so they won't ripen before you want to use them. To ripen them, place them on a sunny window sill for two or three days, turning them daily. | |||
