The avocado (Persea americana), also known as palta or aguacate (Spanish), butter pear or alligator pear,
is a tree native to the Middle, Central and South America,
classified in the flowering plant family Lauraceae along with cinnamon, camphor and bay laurel.
Avocado intake lowers the cholesterol levels and the fibre in avocados also helps to prevent high blood pressure.

I like to eat them with a mustard, garlic vinaigrette sauce or with La vache qui rit cheese.
