The Avocado Shepard (B) is a distinct variety known for its smooth, glossy green skin and elongated shape. Unlike many other avocado types, its skin remains green even when ripe, making it easy to distinguish. The flesh is creamy, with a mild, delicate flavour and a firm texture that holds its shape well, making it ideal for slicing into salads or adding to sandwiches without browning quickly.
Shepard avocados are typically smaller than the Hass variety and have a seed that is relatively easy to remove.
