The avocado (Persea americana) is a fruit of the Lauraceae family, which has 3 varieties: Antillean (Persea americana var. americana), Guatemalan (Persea americana var. guatemalensis) and Mexican (Persea americana var. drymifolia). It is a plant native to Central America, more precisely from the region between Peru and Mexico. There are records of cultivation dating back about 10 thousand years. It was spread to Brazil in 1809, which today is the fourth largest producer in the world. The avocado tree is a medium to tall tree, ranging from 7 to 20 meters, with dark green, simple leaves, small, yellowish-green and fragrant flowers. The fruit is pear-shaped, with yellowish-green fleshy pulp, and can weigh up to 1 kg, containing a single large seed. A tropical plant, it is planted preferably at the beginning of the rainy season and bears fruit all year round. Germination occurs in approximately 20 days, and after 2 months it is transplanted into a pot or soil. Transplanting into the soil When it is approximately 40 to 50 cm tall, it can be transplanted into the soil. The avocado tree is a large plant, so choosing an appropriate location is essential. It should be rich in organic matter and fertilized frequently, so that the fruit tree develops well. Planting is preferably between the months of October and January. Watering should be done daily until the plant begins to develop well, then watering when the soil is dry. In plants with free-standing roots (seedlings obtained from planting seeds, without grafting), flowering and fruiting begin around five years of age. With the exception of bananas, avocados have four (4) times more nutritional value than any other fruit. They are the fruit with the highest amount of protein and are rich in vitamins C and E, folic acid, and potassium. They also contain a good amount of iron, magnesium, and vitamin B6, as well as beta-sitosterol (which can help lower blood cholesterol) and glutathione, an excellent antioxidant. They are high in fat, making them very high in calories, which has led diet experts to banish the consumption of this fruit. However, most of the fat in avocados is monounsaturated, or healthy fat. They are an excellent fruit for combating headaches, rheumatic pain, diarrhea, excess urea, liver failure, dry skin, dry hair, bile retention, worms, and they are an excellent diuretic.
