The avocado is a fruit that has its origins in America, consumed by the indigenous people of Mexico for several millennia. This crop has been an important part of humanity since ancient times. Do you want to know a little about this delicious fruit? I invite you to continue reading this blog.

The avocado is a tree that produces an edible fruit and belongs to the Lauraceae family. Its name derives from the Nahuatl "ahuacatl", which means testicles of the tree.

During colonial times, the Spanish introduced the avocado to the world. Since then, it has become one of the world's favorite foods, as well as one of the most famous snacks thanks to guacamole. guacamole has become so popular at sporting events that Mexico exports approximately 100,000 tons of avocado during the Super Bowl season!

The avocado is said to be one of the most valued fruits for its nutritional benefits. Avocados have fats that contribute to reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. It also provides minerals such as sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium. As well as vitamin A, C and E.

In Mexico, the avocado is used in various ways as an ingredient in salads, as a garnish, to prepare guacamole, in taquitos placeros, among other uses. In addition, avocado leaves are used fresh or dried as a condiment in various dishes, such as barbecue, mixiotes and enfrijoladas.
