IRVINE, CA — The season of guacamole, dips, and avocado-dense bites is upon us.

With the Big Game just weeks away, California Avocado Commission says that California growers are anticipating an earlier harvest for fresh California avocados this year, so operators should check with produce suppliers for California availability.

To help retailers get ready to pre-game that produce department, the commission recommends these consumer favorites:

California Avocado-Shrimp Spring Rolls
