MIAMI, FL - There are times when I’m walking through my grocery store and I see the avocado display, the prices that have now inflated, and sigh in dismay at the size before me, because I now have been introduced to something far greater. I’m talking about the long neck avocado. Miami Fruit shared a picture of its meter-long omega-rich fruit and the world over literally fell in love—just not with its price tag.
The organic and GMO-free variety garnered attention for the long neck uniquely known to this seedling variety. Predictably, the price tag—each 3-6 lb box costs $47—shocked me just as much as the avocado did itself. However, Miami Fruit stated that this seedling is not grown commercially and was originally native to Nicaragua, according to mitú.
