Why this variety

What makes a Reed special.

  • Our biggest variety — one fruit easily feeds two adults on toast
  • Stays bright green even when ripe: don't wait for a colour change, squeeze gently
  • Milder, sweeter, creamier than Hass — kids love it
  • Perfect for slicing: firmer flesh holds its shape in salads and sushi
Ripen it right

From bench to spoon.

Ripens 4–6 days at room temperature. Test with a light thumb press near the stem — should give slightly.

  1. Day 1–2
    Fruit arrives firm. Leave on the bench, out of direct sun.
  2. Day 3–4
    Gentle press near the stem should yield slightly. Almost there.
  3. Ripe
    Skin gives to soft pressure. Eat now, or chill for 2 more days.
How we pack

A box that gives up nothing to landfill.

Kraft carton

Recycled cardboard, sized precisely to your box so fruit can't tumble.

Woolpack insulation

NZ sheep wool holds temperature 6–8°C above / below ambient — fully compostable.

Individual paper wraps

Each avocado wrapped in unbleached tissue to prevent bruising in transit.

Ripe & unripe mix

We stagger ripeness by 1–2 days so your box lasts the week without waste.
