Once the plant reaches six inches in height, trim the top two inches, which should force lower growth and keep your plant hearty. What they look like: Most varieties of avocado are oval- or round-shaped with thick, rough green skin. Depending on the type, avocados can range from three ounces to four pounds. Selection tips: Look for fruit that is firm, yet gives when gently squeezed. If it's still hard, it's not ready to be eaten yet. Two medium avocados should yield about one pound, 2 1/2 cups sliced, diced, or chopped.
Some of the entries were suggesting anywhere from 60 - 129 calories and they were all verified raw entries. I thought the USDA would be the best but even then 88 calories seemed so low to me! Now that I think about, maybe I was thinking 300~ for one of those big Florida avocados, not a hass. Well, 55 grams is less than half of the average Haas avocados that I buy. So, it's not like that's the calories in the whole avocado, unless you're some really small ones.
