"My family has enjoyed Tropical Avocados as part of our meals for generations, and here in Florida, everyone eats them.”
Desbry premium-quality Tropical Avocados are grown and distributed by WP Produce Corporation, and are about three times larger than the Hass variety with a sturdy texture that remains green when ripe, as explained in a press release.

Tropical Avocados are perfect for salads, pico de gallo, ceviche, toast, and any fresh, flavorful meal and snack occasion, as the mild, creamy fruit complements many different recipes perfectly. As noted in the release, Tropical Avocados are gaining popularity throughout the United States as retailers expand the avocado category and shoppers and foodservice operators learn more about the special kind of avocado.
With increased consumer demand and expectation for variety in all produce categories, the Tropical Avocado has become a lucrative category for retailers.
