The Bacon avocado is recognized by its oval to slightly pear-shaped form, smooth and thin green skin with faint speckling, and its lighter green flesh. Unlike some other varieties, its skin remains green even when ripe. It typically weighs between 170 and 340 grams, making it a medium-sized avocado.

The Bacon has a moderate flesh-to-seed ratio and is easier to peel when fully ripe. It’s often chosen for fresh use in salads or sliced on toast due to its milder taste.
