Avocados are great, we love them.

Did you know that the avocado is my favorite… uh? fruit! Yes it must be a fruit because it has a seed! Anyways I didn’t like them when I was a kid but now, as a college student, I love them! Did you know that:

  • most avocados come from Mexico
  • the original name for the avocado was the “alligator pear tree” (dubbed by a Irishman)
  • the avocado wasn’t introduced to the US until the 1950s
  • they have higher potassium levels than bananas
  • you can substitute it for butter in a recipe

I definitely did not know any of those facts before making this page. It’s good that we both can learn some things during this process.
