Mom’s organic in Mosaic. I buy the ones that are hard. They always ripen to a perfect delicious avocado. Just need to plan to let them ripen.

Also a daily avocado eater. I have a secret source. Few weeks ago bought 50 avocados from Amazon fresh. Those were great, still have 15 left. No brown inside at all. Looks perfect inside when ripe. Also got a great deal on them.

I only buy them at Costco, which typically has them from Mexico, and they are consistently good. I just got some at Costco from Peru, and they are horrible. I will be abstaining until the Mexican ones return to my Costco.

I think everywhere is hit or miss. We just bought some from Lidl and one was bad in the bag. A few days prior we had bought some from Trader Joe’s and two were bad in the bag.

Thank you! I’ll have to try there. Never been!

Aldi’s are never ripe enough to eat immediately, but if you plan ahead, they are m excellent when finally ripe.

I have stopped buying them because they've been awful for the last six months or so.

I just buy smashed avocado cups at Costco. Much more reliable.

Yes - I can’t get guacamole at Chipotle anymore. It’s full of strings. I try picking them out but it’s the entire thing
