In the UK, retailer Morrisons is reportedly taking the hassle out of Hass avocados by introducing a ready peeled and pre-packaged product.
According to the Daily Mail, the group has developed specialist technology that peels, de-stones and packs the fruit in its own transparent vacuum-packed pouch, allowing consumers accurately judge ripeness.
The Peruvian avocados will be on sale for £5 (€5.85) as part of a special cocktail kit consisting of four ripe avocado halves and a pot of prawns.
'The technology uses non-thermal food processing to improve the shelf-life,' said Neil Nugent, Morrisons chef and head of innovation. 'Shoppers can now guarantee they will only serve a perfectly ripe avocado.'
