Fresh California Avocado Season Will Be In Full Swing For Cinco de Mayo

Irvine, CA – Christmas has its cookies, Easter has its eggs and Cinco de Mayo always, without fail, has its avocados. From classic guacamole to avocado-smothered tacos, foodservice operators planning a Cinco de Mayo promotion can take advantage of locally grown Fresh California Avocados, which are in peak season from May to August.

Fresh California Avocados are sure to delight patrons in iconic street food, such as Tortas Pambazos with California Avocados.
