Ranking Store-Bought Guacamole From Worst To Best
NEWS

9. Yucatan
Yucatan's medium guacamole has chopped bell peppers and jalapenos to add extra flavor, but they overwhelm the creamy avocado, seasoning, and any hint of tomato and onion.
This guac comes in an airtight pouch, which keeps air from getting to the dip even after opening so it maintains a green color. It can keep for up to two weeks without browning.
8. Whole Foods
Made in-house, Whole Foods' guacamole is extra chunky with large pieces of avocado and tomato. The garlic and onion are chopped finely, making for a uniform flavor.
It doesn't have any additives or preservatives, either. It only ranks so low because of its price, which can run between $6 and $7 for the smallest container.
7. Nature's Promise
This organic guacamole has lots of flavor, but is a bit watery. Mixing it before serving helps but it is still on the thin side with few, if any, avocado chunks.
The package contains four individual servings that are 2 ounces each and costs over $6, which is a bit pricey yet decent considering that the product is organic.
6. Kirkland Signature
This guacamole has great flavor and texture with big chunks of avocado, tomatoes, and onions in the mix. It is heavy on cilantro, giving it an earthy flavor.
Sold at Costco, it comes in a large package of individual, sealed servings. It is a particularly good value at around $14.00 for 16 containers.
5. Good & Gather
Target's Good & Gather guacamole comes in a squeezable pouch, which prevents it from browning, as well as a traditional tub. It costs about $5 for 12 ounces.
The squeezable container makes it easy to apply to foods like tacos. Served as a dip, it will need some mixing, and can benefit from additions like tomatoes and jalapenos.
