Amartya Bag (bn : অমর্ত্য বাগ) is a legal professional and a proud Wikipedian. He is a Veteran Editor II, Autopatroller, Reviewer and Rollbacker on English Wikipedia. He came across Wikipedia while searching for some material on Julius Caesar for his school project in the summer of 2005 and he landed on Wikipedia and has been mesmerised by the wonderful contribution of some volunteers. Since then he continued to edit under IPs, mostly related to his place of residence. He is an active registered Wikipedian since 30 December 2005. The Hass avocado is a variety of avocado with dark green, bumpy skin. It was first grown and sold by the American horticulturist Rudolph Hass, who also gave it his name. The Hass is one of the most commercially popular avocado cultivars and accounts for more than 80 percent of the crop in the United States. This is due to its taste, size, shelf-life, high growing yield and in some areas, year-round harvesting. The fruit has a mass of 200 to 300 grams (8 to 10 ounces) and, when ripe, its skin becomes a dark purplish-black that yields to gentle pressure. The centre part of the inner fruit then becomes white-green. This picture shows a whole and a halved Hass avocado, cultivated in Colombia. The photograph was focus-stacked from 12 separate images.Photograph credit: Ivar Leidus
