Let’s take a peek at this amazing fruit or vegetable? Well it is considered a vegetable because it is frequently used in salads and such but it is actually classified as a fruit!
Here are a few more interesting bits and pieces about this amazing tasty delight!
What are avocados? Avocados are considered a type of fruit and a part of the berry family. Avocados are grown in tropical areas, such as Central America and South America. The exterior color of the fruit turns from green to a dark black after being harvested. This means that avocados will only ripen after being picked from the tree. Like many fruits, each avocado has an oval-shaped pit. Its chartreuse colored interior (called the “flesh”) is creamy and smooth just like butter and is the part that is eaten. When avocados are exposed to oxygen, the flesh becomes a darker brown shade. Do not be alarmed by this color change, they are still good to eat! Also, avocados contain several toxins that some animals find deadly – luckily we humans are not affected!
Avocado Health Facts
