Avocado

Avocado is a healthy and versatile fruit you must try in Hawaii. This land is a paradise of avocados, with about 200 varieties of avocados. So, it is easy to spot avocados in Hawaiian households’ backyards. The highland regions of south-central Mexico to Guatemala are where the tree most likely first appeared. Avocados are cultivated in tropical and Mediterranean climates of many countries, with Mexico as the leading producer of avocados in 2019, supplying 32% of the world's total.

The fruit of this plant, often known as avocado, avocado pear, alligator pear, or simply "avo", is a huge berry with a single enormous seed. Avocado trees are partially self-pollinating and are often propagated through grafting to maintain predictable fruit quality and quantity. When domestic cultivars are fully mature, their fruit has smooth, buttery, golden flesh. Avocados can be pear-shaped, egg-shaped, or spherical and can have green, brown, purple, or black skin depending on the variety. Commercially, the fruits are harvested when they are still immature and let ripen afterward. Avocado flesh's high vitamin and fat content, as well as its texture, make it suitable for usage in a variety of dishes, including salads and vegetarian diets.
