Avocado Size Information
Del Rey Avocado classifies each avocado packed based on a minimum and maximum weight. These sizes are named according to the number of fruit from each size category needed to fill a 25-pound carton. Thus, a Size 28 avocado refers to the size category where 28 avocados placed in carton have a net weight of 25 pounds. Using this method, the larger the size designation, the smaller the fruit, i.e. a size 70 is smaller than size 24. Official weights for each size category are below.
