Season for Avocados!!!


My dearest and adorable friends

Persea americana, or the avocado, is believed to have originated in the state of Puebla, Mexico

The word "avocado" comes from the Spanish aguacate, which in turn comes from the Nahuatl word āhuacatl.

Sometimes the word  āhuacatl was used with the meaning "testicle", probably because of the likeness between the fruit and the body part.

Avocados provide nearly 20 essential nutrients, including fiber, potassium, Vitamin E, B-vitamins, and folic acid.

They also act as a "nutrient booster" by enabling the body to absorb more fat-soluble nutrients, such as alpha and beta-carotene.

Eating fresh avocados every day can significantly change lipid profiles and improve cholesterol levels, reveals a study conducted at the University of the Pacific at Stockton in California.

Since in Mauritius it is the season for avocados, Do enjoy our locally produced pesticides free fruits.

Have a nice day.
