Artifacts made with avocado chunks dating back 12,000 years have been found in parts of Mexico. Avocado was cultivated in Mexico, Central and South America as early as 5000 BC. The Aztecs, Incas, and Mayans used avocado in cosmetic applications such as creating face masks.

Because of the value pre-Hispanic cultures gave the avocado, European conquerors at the time of the Columbian Exchange introduced the fruit to the "New World" where it continued to be highly valued for its various benefits. During the 1830-1880 period, avocado trees were shipped from Mexico to Hawaii, Florida, and California. In the 20th century, the United States began developing avocado fruit varieties suitable for commercial farming, during which time California became the main fruit supplier. In France, Avocado Oil has a prescription drug status due to its ability to address the effects of arthritis.

Today, the world's largest producer is Mexico.

Avocado is a rather unique fruit. While most fruits are primarily composed of carbohydrates, avocados contain high levels of healthy fatty acids. For this reason, avocado has also been called "vegetable oil" or "butter pear" since Aztec times. It has gained a lot of popularity recently due to its health benefits. There are many different types of avocados, from pear-shaped to round, from green to black, from 220 gr to 1.4 kg. It also happens to be called the "alligator pear" because it tends to be pear-shaped and has a green, bumpy rind like an alligator.

Although avocado oil is not known as much as olive oil, it can offer a taste and health at least as high as it. Its 12% is saturated fats and 13% is polyunsaturated fats. It contains many vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin K, Folate, Vitamin C, Potassium, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Vitamin E, small amounts of magnesium, manganese, copper, iron, zinc, phosphorus, A, B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin) and B3 (niacin).  Avocado oil is also very useful for hair and skin care. We recommend adding this oil to your daily routine for an antioxidant-rich self-care.

It offers many benefits thanks to the fatty acids it contains.
