Avocado is the fruit of the avocado tree, grown mainly in tropical areas, but recently it has also been cultivated in Italy, particularly in some areas of Sicily and Sardinia.
The fruit has the shape of a pear, has a green skin, which becomes darker and tending towards black as the fruit ripens, and a single large seed.

Although it is a fruit, in reality, its organoleptic characteristics and nutritional values ​​are very different from the fresh fruit we are used to. In fact, it is most commonly used for savory preparations and is mainly considered a source of fat, but it is also rich in antioxidants and fibre.
