The popularity of
avocado is down
to its rich, creamy texture and mild flavour. The avocado, or
Persea americana, is a fruit that belongs to the family of
lauraceae; a group that also includes members such as cinnamon and
laurel. There are dozens of varieties of avocado, ranging in size,
colour and texture. All are native to tropical climates and, when
harvested, the flesh softens to a buttery texture that has become
extremely popular in everything from dips to
desserts.
