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.
