The Avocado

Irvine, CA (February 2009) — If you thought you’d never read the words Fresh California Avocados and deep-fried in the same sentence, think again. The mild, firm flesh of versatile Fresh California Avocados provides the ideal texture and shape for Cornmeal-Crusted Avocado Fries with a Trio of Relishes, a delectable variation on an all-American favorite, while Beer-Battered Fried Avocado Wedges offer a comfort food-style version. Beyond bar food, the Fresh California Avocado inspires chefs to deep-fried menu creativity. The Avocado, a Fresh California Avocado that’s been halved, stuffed with lobster and cheese and then deep-fried, is a case in point.

Find these innovative recipes for deep-fried Fresh California Avocados and other exciting menu ideas at CaliforniaAvocado.com/foodservice. Fresh California Avocados are in season from March through October, so the time is ripe to ensure quality, freshness and flavor. To order one or all of the free California Avocado Commission recipe
