Whether used in savory meals or smoothies, this variety delivers a premium taste experience with exceptional nutrition.

🌍 Origin

Kenyan Avocados are primarily cultivated in the highlands of Central and Rift Valley regions where the altitude, rainfall, and rich soil create perfect growing conditions. These avocados trace their lineage to Hass and Fuerte varieties originally from the USA, hence the name “Avocado USA (Kenya).” Grown naturally without artificial ripening, they are handpicked at maturity to ensure creamy texture, superior taste, and optimal nutrition for export markets across the Middle East and Europe.
