This is my friend, Leka. 這位是我的朋友「長腿」

He's an expert of avocados. 酪梨達人

Hello, everyone. I'm Leka. 大家好 我是長腿

Leka, you told me before that there are different types of avocados. 長腿 我記得你說過酪梨的品種有很多種

Can you tell the audience a bit about that? 可以幫我介紹一下嗎

There are many types of avocados, 酪梨的品種非常多

And there are over 30 types of avocados currently. 現在台面上的酪梨有三十種

In addition, some types of them don't even have a name yet. 還有許多未命名的品種

There are three main categories of avocados according 酪梨的品種大致

to their harvest seasons: 分成三類

Early, medium, and late. 早生 中生 晚生

The season for avocados starts from May to February, 分別從五月到隔年二月分別有不同品種產出

This is also the harvest seasons for most avocados. 也是酪梨盛產的時節

The tastes of avocados are affected by 酪梨的品種與採收時間

their types and harvest timing. 都會影響到酪梨的口感

How do we tell if an avocado is ready for harvest? 要怎麼看出酪梨可以採收了呢？

Basically, we look at the dots on an avocados' skin. 我們主要是看酪梨表面的點點

Avocados with a very smooth skin are not ripe enough 太光滑的酪梨還不能吃

and shouldn't be harvest yet. 最好也不要採

Wait until white dots appear before you harvest avocados. 等到出現白色斑點時才會採收

An avocado tastes the best when the white dots turn brown. 等到白點轉成褐色時最美味

Orchard workers pick avocados 果農採收時

when they are about 70% ripe. 會抓在大約七分熟

An early harvest can lead to unripe avocados, 太早採可能不會熟

and a late harvest can cause overripe ones. 太晚採怕送到消費者手裡會過熟

Therefore, finding the right timing for harvest is really important. 採收時間點真的非常重要

There are so many types of avocados. 酪梨有這麼多品種

Do they taste different when they're made into dishes or juice? 入菜和打成果汁的品種是否有差別呢?

It's just that avocados taste bitter after being heated, 只是入菜特別注意酪梨加熱後會變苦

and we have to overcome this challenge. 需要克服這樣的問題

Many people add milk and pudding into avocado juice. 很多人喝酪梨會加入牛奶和布丁
