Avocado is derived from the aztec word "ahuacatl" which translates to testicle as the aztecs considered the avocado a fertility fruit. Affectionately known to North Americans as the Alligator Pear, reflecting its shape and the leather like appearance of its skin, the creamy texture of avocado is well received by babies.
An avocado has 60% more potassium than a banana. Potassium helps to regulate blood pressure and an adequate intake helps to protect from circulatory related diseases. They also contain oleic acid , which is the monounsaturated fat that is said to help lower "bad" cholesterol. This nutrient dense fruit with its multitude of health benefits needless to say, can be enjoyed by all.
