Avocados
Where did it originate?
• Avocados have royal roots. There are reports that avocados were first used
as tributes from townsfolk to local royalty in Mesoamerica 7,000 years ago.
• Avocados are in the same family as cinnamon.
• Half of an average-sized avocado has 4.6 grams of fibre — the most of any
fruit!
• Unlike other fruit, the avocado is the only one that contains heart-healthy
monounsaturated fat.
• An avocado is a fruit? While definitely not sweet, it falls firmly in the fruit-not
the vegetable-family.
