Who doesn't love avocados!?
Scientists are still trying to find the answer for that question.
- An avocado is a bright green fruit with a large pit and dark
leathery skin.
- They’re also known as alligator pears or butter
fruit.
- Avocados are a favorite of the produce section.
- They’re
the go-to ingredient for guacamole dips.
- And they're turning up in
everything from salads and wraps to smoothies and even brownies.
- So what, exactly, makes this pear-shaped berry (yes,
that’s right!) such a superfood?
