Avocado Weight by Size and Variety
Hass is the standard supermarket avocado. Florida (smooth-skin) is roughly twice the size with half the fat per gram.
| Type | Whole weight | Edible flesh | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small Hass | 4.8 oz / 136g | 3.2 oz / 90g | ~144 cal |
| Medium Hass | 6 oz / 170g | 4 oz / 115g | ~184 cal |
| Large Hass | 7 oz / 200g | 5 oz / 140g | ~224 cal |
| Medium Florida | 10.5 oz / 300g | 7.4 oz / 210g | ~252 cal |
| Large Florida | 14 oz / 400g | 10 oz / 280g | ~336 cal |
Whole vs Edible Weight
The pit is 15-25% of total weight (~30-50g for a medium Hass). The skin is 10-15% (~20-30g). Edible flesh is roughly 65% of the whole avocado. When a recipe says "1 avocado," it means the flesh from one medium Hass, about 4 oz (115g).
Calories and Nutrition
Avocado flesh is 160 cal per 100g, the most calorie-dense common fruit because of healthy monounsaturated fat. A medium Hass (115g flesh) = 184 cal, 15g fat, 9g carbs, 7g fiber, 2g protein. USDA standard serving is 1/3 of a medium (50g, 80 cal). More potassium per serving than a banana.
Hass vs Florida
Hass: small, rough dark skin, 60% more fat per gram, creamy. Best for guac and toast. Florida: large, smooth bright green skin, half the fat, milder. Better for salads and lighter dishes. Per whole fruit, Florida still has more total calories because it is so much bigger.
Estimating Without a Scale
A medium Hass fits comfortably in your palm. Smaller than palm = small. Fills the hand = large. Ripeness drops weight 3-5% as water leaves the fruit. For a precise estimate, photograph next to a lemon or coin and use the AI scale tool.
