Avocado

Avocado, also called alligator pear,  native to the Western hemisphere from   Mexico  South to the Andean regions. Avocado fruits have greenish or yellowish flesh with a buttery consistency and a rich, nutty flavour. They are often eaten in salads, and in many parts of the world they are eaten as a dessert. Mashed avocado is the principal ingredient of Guacamole, a characteristic sauce in Mexican cuisine. Avocados provide  thiamin,  riboflavin   and  vitamin A and in some varieties the flesh contains as much as 25 percent unsaturated oil.
