How to eat a Mexicola avocado? Eat it with the peel!
The easiest way to enjoy a ripe Mexicola is to simply wash it, slice it in half, and eat it with the skin on. The edible skin of a Mexicola avocado has a distinctive flavor with notes of anise and licorice. This sets it apart from the thick, bitter, and inedible skin of a Hass avocado.
- Charcuterie board: Arrange thinly sliced avocado on a charcuterie board with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
Eating a Mexicola avocado offers a unique culinary experience compared to the more common Hass variety, largely because of its delicate, edible skin and nutty flavor. This small, Mexican-type avocado has creamy flesh with a taste that is rich, buttery, and intense.
Other preparation ideas:
- Sliced on toast or salads: For a simple meal, slice it thinly and serve it on toast or add it to salads.
- Baked or fried: The slices can be fried into wedges or baked into thin chips.
