Avocados have a nutty or buttery taste that varies based on ripeness and variety.
Their flavor is subtle and not overwhelming.
Avocados are also said to have an earthy or grassy flavor.
Personally they rate as one of my favourite foods and I have avocado on sourdough toast with feta cheese and chilli flakes almost daily for breakfast.
