A monster version of the avocado, aptly named the Avozilla, is returning to UK supermarket shelves this week.
The extremely rare South African fruit is only available for a few weeks each year and last year sold out in a matter of days.
Now the Avozilla is back, available to buy from Tesco this Friday, August 27.

Weighing in at an impressive average of 1.5kg thanks to a great harvest in its native country, the Avozilla can contain up to 10 servings.
It’s more expensive than your average fruit at £4 each, but can go a long way, serving 10 people for just 40p per head.
But you’d better be quick if you want to get your hands on one, as Tesco’s last batch, imported in 2020, sold out in less than a week.
Tesco chilled salad and avocado buyer, Katalin Varnai, said: “Back by popular demand, the Avozilla is guaranteed to keep people talking year after year.
“The natural monster fruit is extremely rare and comes from just a relatively small number of trees grown by one of the world’s biggest suppliers of avocados in South Africa.
“We know how much the UK likes avocados, so we consider ourselves extremely lucky to be able to offer this treat to our customers. We can’t wait to see what deliciously green creations our nation of avocado lovers will rustle up!”
