The avocado is a fruit native to Central America and Mexico, scientifically known as Persea Americana. It is a fleshy exotic fruit obtained from the tropical tree of the same name. In some parts of South America it is known as Palta. The bark is thick and hard, green in color, the tone of which depends on the variety. The pulp is creamy to yellowish-green oily, with a nutty flavor. It is versatile and can be combined with a variety of savory and sweet foods.

They are commonly consumed raw, either sliced, mashed to make guacamole, or added to salads and sandwiches. They are also used in various culinary preparations, from savory dishes to smoothies and desserts.
