    What Do Avocado Taste Like

    Avocado tastes vary depending on how ripe are they. A ripe avocado tastes slightly sweet, mild, creamy, and buttery in texture. Some claim that it tastes like egg yolk or coconut. As soon as you take a bite you will feel a creamy texture with slightly sweet, earthy, and grassy flavors coming together.

    A ripe avocado is a key ingredient to make any dip, salad, sandwich, and to serve as a side. Unripe avocado is firm and still will be easier to cut. But they will not be sweet in taste and creamy texture. They are still good at adding in sandwiches, salads, and making avocado pickle.

    Use them in baking, seasoning, and as a side along with shakshuka, scrambles, and tacos.
