Frequently Asked Questions

• Does avocado have seeds?

  The avocado contains a seed which, together with the skin, comprises about 33% of the total weight of the avocado. When eating the avocado, one cuts the fruit in half and removes the seed and skin to use the pulp of the avocado for consumption. The avocado seed is thus considered a waste-product.

• What is the origin of avocado?

  Persea americana, or the avocado, possibly originated in the Tehuacan Valley in the state of Puebla, Mexico, although fossil evidence suggests similar species were much more widespread millions of years ago.

• How do you use avocado?

  Scoop the flesh of the avocado out of its peel with a spoon. In a mixing bowl, use a fork to mash the avocado into mush. You can mash cubes or slices of avocado, as well, but using scooped avocado may make things a bit easier. Use the back, flat sides of the tines or prongs when mashing an avocado with a fork.

• What is an avacado a fruit or a vegetable?

  Avocado is a fruit. More specifically, botanists define it as a large berry with a single seed. Although it's not nearly as sweet as many other fruits, it falls under the definition of fruit, which is "the sweet and fleshy product of a tree or other plant that contains seed and can be eaten as food" ( 1 ).
