Edible Rind Avocados

Anything that I have never heard of before needs to be blogged about and this is one such example. Mini avocados with edible rinds as seen here. 

I was a little hesitant at first considering what you normally think of when imagining a large bite of a typical unpeeled avocado. I was pleasantly surprised, however, to find these quite delectable. The rind is more like that of a nectarine, smooth and thin. The pit inside is small enough that you can get substantial bites off of the avocado without damaging your chompers. It doesn't completely taste like a normal avocado either. In the end we tagged it as having a basily flavor. Simple to prepare and refreshing to eat. A winner in my book. Now where to get these is a major obstacle. The ones in the picture were hand-picked off a tree for us by some locals. May be a while til the mini basily avocados take off elsewhere...
