Tesco rocks supermarkets with the return of the “Avozilla,” the monster avocado.
The rare, South African fruit will only be available for a few weeks, but last year the fruit sold out in days.
Tesco resurrected the Avozilla on August 27, with each fruit weighing at 1.5 kg. That’s 10 times the weight of a standard avocado! This special variety is grown from select trees in South Africa and is available for just a few weeks every year.
The great harvest means the Avozilla can contain up to 10 servings for the retail price of £4, or $5.52. It can feed a group for .50 cents a person.
Tesco chilled salad and avocado buyer, Katalin Varnai, said:
Back by popular demand, the AVOZILLA is guaranteed to keep people talking year after year.
The natural monster fruit is extremely rare and comes from just a relatively small number of trees grown by one of the world’s biggest suppliers of avocados in South Africa.
We know how much the UK likes avocados, so we consider ourselves extremely lucky to be able to offer this treat to customers. We can’t wait to see what deliciously green creations our nation of avocado lovers will rustle up!
People have taken to Twitter to drum up hype for the fruit. One BBC video actually explains it:
One person showed the progression in Avozilla harvest.
