Organic Avocado Oil - 500 ml

○ Latin name: Persea gratissima The avocado is a fruit tree native to Central and South America. It is a member of the Lauraceae family, which also includes cinnamon and bay leaf. The avocado tree can reach a height of 20 meters, but it is often pruned to facilitate the harvesting of fruit. Avocado leaves are evergreen, leathery and glossy dark green. The flowers are small, green and inconspicuous, but they are very important for pollination and fruit production. The fruits of the avocado tree are fleshy pear-shaped or oval-shaped berries, which contain a single seed. Avocado skin is usually green, but it can be a variety of colors, ranging from dark green to dark purple. Avocado oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the pulp of the avocado. ֍ Did you know that the avocado is actually a fruit and not a vegetable? In reality, the avocado is a unique berry that grows on a tree called "Persea gratissima". It was first cultivated in Central and South America around 7,000 years ago by indigenous peoples. When the Spanish conquistadors arrived in South America, they discovered the avocado and were immediately won over by its flavor and creamy texture. They then exported the avocado to Europe, where it became a popular fruit in aristocratic circles and at royal banquets.
