Ace History Desk – Avocados improve nutritional habits

Avocado fun facts

Avocados are actually berries, botanically speaking. They’re single-seeded fruits that grow from the flowers of the avocado tree.

Avocados have existed for over 60 million years. Giant prehistoric animals may have helped spread their seeds.

The word “avocado” comes from the Aztec word āhuacatl, which also meant “testicle,” likely because of the fruit’s shape.

Mexico produces about 30% of the world’s avocados, making it the largest producer globally.

Avocados contain more potassium than bananas (ounce for ounce), which helps support heart and muscle function.

During Super Bowl weekend, Americans eat over 100 million pounds of avocados, mostly as guacamole.

Avocados don’t ripen on the tree. They begin to ripen only after they are picked.

Hass avocado is the most popular variety worldwide, but there are 500+ avocado varieties grown worldwide.
