More about Avocados
 
The most common type of avocado is the Hass, and all Hass avocado trees are descended from a single "mother tree" that was raised by a mail carrier named Rudolph Hass.

There's nothing vegetable about avocados. Avocados are considered fruit because they have a large seed in the middle.

Avocados can be refrigerated to maintain freshness.

In some parts of the world, avocados are called “alligator pears.” Chomp!

Just one avocado tree can produce as many as 500 avocados each year.

Meal Tips
Don’t let the wrinkly outer skin fool you. The inside of an avocado is pure gold.
 

Well, more like green-gold, with a creamy texture and delicious flavor that’s great in salads, sandwiches, by the slice, and of course, in guacamole.

Try a creamy avocado spread instead of mayonnaise on sandwiches. You'll love the taste, as well as the nutrition benefits.

Add avocado slices to hamburgers, hot dogs, tacos and more.

Combine avocados with scrambled eggs and omelets.
