Did you know Wholly Guacamole® brand only uses Hass avocado? We think they are the best! The Hass avocado comes from a single tree, planted in the 1920’s by a postman named Rudolph Hass. From this one tree an entire variety of avocado was born. Mr. Hass was so proud of his avocado that in 1935 he registered the Hass avocado for a patent.
It’s easy to love Hass avocados with their creamy, delicious flavor and their many health benefits. Sadly, the mother tree died in 2002, but her children live on today, all over the world, producing the best avocados on earth. And we’re not the only one’s.
Today, Hass avocados are the most popular avocados in the world.

Avocados are native to Central Mexico and are a fruit (Surprise!). It is believed that the Aztecs enjoyed the first guacamole in the 16th century.
Avocados are one of the best sources for good fat. What is a good fat? Glad you asked. Good fat is called monounsaturated fat and is able to do many good things for your body. Good fat lowers your bad cholesterol and raises your good cholesterol. Good fats can help you feel full and help with weight loss. Good fats also help your body absorb nutrients from food, like all those great vitamins and minerals found in avocados. So dig in, it’s good for you!
What’s up with all the brown spots? Nothing actually. It’s completely normal for avocados to turn brown when exposed to oxygen (just like any other fruit). It is still completely fine to eat. The good news is that Wholly Guacamolebrand has different sized packaging to help you have exactly the right amount of guac, without keeping any leftovers. You can keep the green and steer clear of the brown.
Squeeze me! Citrus helps keep avocados from turning brown. So if you want your guacamole to stay nice and green, add a little lime (or lemon) and your guacamole will keep its color. It tastes great too! At the end of the day it will still turn brown but a nice squeeze of citrus will help slow that down.
