Avocado

-
The fruit of a tree which grows in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The tree produces fruit up to three times a year, given the right conditions, and is hardy enough to withstand cold nights as low as 26 degrees Fahrenheit. The fruit is typically green, but some varieties can be yellow, red, and purple. The fruit contains one large seed, which is surrounded by an oily yellowish-green flesh that is soft and mildly sweet when properly ripened.

Avocado is a delicious fruit, sometimes confused for a vegetable, but definitely a fruit. It comes with its own handy bio-degradable packaging, so no need to wrap it in plastic. Under no circumstances should it ever be cooked. This is a direct order from heaven. It is perfect as it is and cooking it is a literal sin and a crime against humanity. Enjoy uncooked, raw, cold, fresh from the tree or not warm.

The avocado is a medium-sized, evergreen tree in the laurel family (Lauraceae). It is native to the Americas and was first domesticated by Mesoamerican tribes more than 5,000 years ago. Then as now it was prized for its large and unusually oily fruit. The tree likely originated in the highlands bridging south-central Mexico and Guatemala. Its fruit, sometimes also referred to as an alligator pear or avocado pear, is botanically a large berry containing a single large seed. Avocado trees are partly self-pollinating, and are often propagated through grafting to maintain consistent fruit output. Avocados are presently cultivated in the tropical and Mediterranean climates of many countries. Mexico is the worlds leading producer of avocados as of 2020, supplying nearly 30% of the global harvest in that year.
