Brooks Tropicals markets
its avocados through an innovative concept.
While the most common avocado consumed in the
U.S. is the Hass avocado, Brooks Tropicals grows and packs a range of avocado
varieties called SlimCados, which share one common characteristic: they have
up to half the fat and a third fewer calories than the leading California avocado.
Description:
Generally pear-shaped with smooth or bumpy green
skin, the SlimCado varies in shape and in size from three
to thirteen inches long and
up to five inches wide.
