Avocado Indonesia
Indonesian avocados generally have bright green skin that will stay green even as the fruit matures, though some varieties will ripen to a dark purple. They come in different shapes and sizes, varying from round to elongated or pear-shaped, and weighing as much as a pound and a half.
Known as alpukat in Indonesia, they grow mainly in low-elevation tropical regions, especially the island of Java. Avocados (avocados) are also classified as West Indian, Guatemalan, or Mexican. Indonesian avocado varieties with larger fruits and green skin are thought to be from the West Indian race, while the smaller, darker varieties are from the Mexican race and its natural hybrids. In addition, Indonesian avocados are more generally divided into two categories: the avocado type, which has a creamy pulp and is rich in healthy fats; and the milk type, which has a thin pulp and is low in oil.
Whereas the shea variety can be mashed without a watery texture. Indonesian avocados are often paired with tropical fruits like jackfruit, coconut, and papaya, and also pair well with citrus, tomatoes, fresh herbs, nuts, olive oil, meat, and seafood. Indonesian avocados are commonly used to make a sweetened smoothie drink called es alpukat, which translates to "ice avocado," and is usually made with avocado, coffee and/or chocolate syrup, and sweetened condensed milk with ice, or mixed and eaten with ice. A variation of this smoothie-like drink can also be called jus alpukat, which translates to "shea juice". Store Indonesian avocados at room temperature until fully ripe. Whole, ripe avocados will last two to three days in the refrigerator, while sliced avocados will last for a day or two.
Today, Indonesia is the fifth largest producer of avocados in the world, with Mexico at the top.
