Avocado is a creamy, nutrient-dense fruit known for its rich flavor and smooth texture. It has a green, pebbly skin that can range from dark green to black when ripe, with a large pit in the center. Avocados are high in healthy fats, particularly monounsaturated fat, as well as vitamins E, K, and C, making them great for heart health and skin nourishment. They are commonly used in salads, spreads, and smoothies. Avocados thrive in warm climates and are predominantly grown in regions like Mexico, the United States (especially California and Florida), and parts of South America.
