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