avocado

Avocado is a fruit characterized by its smooth and creamy texture. Rich in healthy fats, it's often called "forest butter."

Originating in Mexico, avocado toast has become a popular brunch menu item worldwide. It's also frequently used in salads and smoothies.

Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins, avocados are gaining popularity as a health food. They're a frequent star in social media posts among Millennials and Gen Z, and are also attracting attention as a popular substitute food for vegetarians. Recently, cosmetics using avocado ingredients have been gaining traction in the K-beauty industry.

With the global surge in avocado demand, it's become so highly valued that it's nicknamed "green gold." From guacamole, a staple of Mexican cuisine, to avocado sushi in Japan, it's uniquely incorporated into various food cultures, and new recipes are constantly being developed.
