The size of the avocado is determined by the number of pieces that can fit in a standard box, which when full weighs approximately 11.3 kilos (25 pounds). For instance, when we talk about avocados size 60, we mean that 60 pieces fit in a package. The higher the number, the smaller the avocado.

It may vary according to the season of the year and the country of origin of the product; but normally a temperature between 38-42 ° F / 3.3-5.5 ° C is acceptable. If the avocado is green the storage temperature should be 42 ° F / 5.5 ° C and as it ripens, the temperature should drop to 38 ° F / 3.3 ° C.
