About Avocados
A fruit with a rich history and incredible versatility, avocados have been cultivated for thousands of years.
A Rich History
Avocados have been cultivated in Central and South America since 8,000 BCE. The word "avocado" comes from the Aztec word "ahuacatl," which means testicle, likely referring to the fruit's shape.
Spanish conquistadors discovered avocados in the 16th century and were the first Europeans to consume them. By the 19th century, avocados were being cultivated in California, which now produces about 90% of the U.S. avocado crop.
