What is an avocado?
The avocado is a fruit with creamy flesh and a mild flavor, widely used in Mexican cuisine. Although many people eat it as if it were a vegetable, it belongs to the fruit family.
In Mexico, avocado is an essential part of the daily diet. Its versatility and nutritional value make it a high-turnover product at any retail outlet. This positions it as an excellent business opportunity for companies looking to increase their revenue with fresh produce.
Origin, types, and characteristics of the avocado
The avocado (Persea americana) is native to Mesoamerica, specifically the highlands of central and eastern Mexico and parts of Guatemala. Archaeological evidence dates its consumption to around 8,000–10,000 years ago in Puebla, Mexico. The name comes from the Nahuatl word ahuácatl, meaning “testicle,” as it was named by the Aztecs.
Types of Avocados
There are several varieties, but the most commercially significant ones are:
Hass: the most popular due to its shelf life and flavor

The Hass avocado stands out for its durability during transport, making it ideal for wholesale sales.
