SEASONALITY SUMMER Because Peru is located in the southern hemisphere, its avocados are available in the United States from June through September—the best time of all for eating avocados! Fresh avocados from Peru add a creamy texture and slightly nutty flavor to favorite summer dishes, and they make the perfect addition to salads, sandwiches, and picnics. And of course, an avocado makes a nutritious, tasty lunch all by itself, scooped straight from the shell.
