The green, smooth-skinned avocados are usually Florida or Dominican avocados. The bumpy-skinned, dark green avocados that turn purplish-black when ripe are normally from California and are the Hass variety.
The Hass avocado contains more good-for-you fats that are typically considered good not only for your heart but also for your skin.

Top Tips
- Use frozen avocados for this Simple Guacamole. The texture is not an issue since you are mashing them up well.
- Avocados ripen well if placed in a brown paper bag in a cool place, like a closet, for a few days. Just don't forget about them as they can ripen quickly.
- Sometimes, after sitting in the fridge, Guacamole can thicken up. Slowly add water to the bowl of guacamole and stir until desired thickness is achieved.
- To tell if an avocado is ripe, give it a gentle squeeze and if it yields to the pressure it is good to go!
