Avocado

Avocado is a fruit that comes from the avocado tree, primarily grown in warmer climates like Central and South America. It is known for its creamy texture and rich taste, making it a versatile ingredient in many dishes.

To produce avocados, farmers harvest ripe fruits from the trees. The avocados are then carefully peeled, pitted, and the flesh is mashed or sliced for consumption. As it is a natural ingredient, avocados do not undergo extensive processing before reaching store shelves.

Avocado is a popular addition to various dishes like salads, sandwiches, and wraps due to its creamy texture and nutty flavour. It is often used to make guacamole, a popular dip for tortilla chips. Avocado is also found in smoothies, sushi rolls, and even desserts like avocado ice cream. Additionally, it is a source of good fats and adds a unique taste to dishes, making it a common ingredient in many recipes.
