Navigating the ripeness of avocados can greatly impact consumer satisfaction and sales. Our range of supply includes avocados at all five stages of ripeness, tailored to the diverse needs of our retail partners. Here's a brief overview of our ripeness stages: Stage 1: Very hard fruit, typically green, ripens in about 7 days. Stage 2: Begins to soften, ready to eat in 3 to 5 days. Stage 3: Slightly soft at the top and bottom, perfect in about 2 days. Stage 4: Firm yet ripe, ideal for immediate consumption or the next day. Stage 5: Fully ripe, ready for all uses, best if used the same day or refrigerated. By offering avocados ranging from very hard to soft, we empower our retailers to meet the immediate and future needs of their customers, enhancing both planning and spontaneous purchases. Trust West Pak to deliver avocados that align perfectly with consumer demands and preferences. #Ripening #Avocados #WestPakAvocado

We're excited to announce we have FOUR new ripening rooms at our McAllen, TX, facility, and one of them is specifically for a fickle fruit — the avocado! Avocados are a highly complex fruit that require special handling to ensure their safe arrival at their final destination. For example, did you know you must maintain 90% to 95% ripening room humidity to reduce dehydration during avocados' ripening cycles and help with their external appearance? Our new ripening rooms will allow avocados to receive the proper treatment they require, such as fresh air exchange, the right level of humidity, proper temperature management and more. With this, we'll be able to better prepare for each season, ensuring every avocado receives the pristine conditioning it deserves. #EnvisionCold #AvocadoNerds #Avocado #RipeningRooms #McAllenTX #ColdStorage #ColdChain #SupplyChain
