Well, fellow foodies, get ready for a little aguacate wisdom! Botanically, avocados are fruits. They belong to the Lauraceae plant family, alongside cherimoya and soursop. But let me tell you, avocados are in a league of their own. Their creamy texture and unique flavor make them a standout ingredient in both savory and sweet dishes.
Avocados have been a culinary staple in Latin America for millennia, dating back to the time of the Aztecs, Mayans and Incas. In fact, the word "avocado" is derived from the Aztec word "ahuacatl.” Latino cuisine embraces the avocado in all its glory, from the ever-popular guacamole to creamy avocado sauces.
But it's not just about taste and tradition—avocados offer a variety of good-for-you benefits too. These nutrient-packed super fruits provide essential fiber, minerals and vitamins which are all part of a balanced diet.
