Shoppers are flocking to supermarkets to stock up on the much-loved Hass avocados after a less popular season of the Shepard variety.

Coles and Woolworths have delighted fans with the return of the fan favourite Hass avocados, which are now back in season from May through to January.

During its absence, the controversial green-skinned Shepard variety takes over the fruit and vegetable aisles between February and April.

After a long three-month wait, avocado fans are thrilled to see the ever-popular Hass back on shelves.

'I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Hass at Coles - I thought I was dreaming. It's been a painful couple of months without them,' a shopper told FEMAIL.

'I can't stand Shepard avocados. No matter how long I wait for them to ripen, they never taste as creamy or delicious as Hass. I've been avoiding buying avocados for the past three months... Until now.'

Dozens of fans have expressed their excitement over the return of the Hass variety.

'Almost shed a tear finding Hass avocados at Woolies today... There's light at the end of the tunnel. It is a weekend for miracles,' one said.

'The way I just started crying,' another shared.

'This has relieved my Shepard depression,' one revealed.

'Yay! I have missed avocados,' another added.

Many joked the 'war is over' while another pointed out: 'It's a good day to be in Australia' after spotting Hass at their local supermarket.
