The avocado is a tree that can reach a height of 20 meters and is native to Central Mexico where it was cultivated as far back as 8.000 B.C. The most favorable climates for avocado cultivation are in tropical and subtropical regions. The fruit is, botanically speaking, a large berry containing a single seed.

Once the avocado is cut, after awhile, the exposed surface becomes brown. There are some tips to to keep the fruit longer and with a fresh appearance. You can brush the exposed flesh with lemon juice or place the remaining portion in a storage box with a piece of cut up onion. Always store the cut avocado in the fridge.

The seed also helps preserve the fruit. If you eat only half, leave the pit on the other half and cover tightly with clear plastic wrap before placing in the refrigerator. Contact with the oxygen makes the avocado get brown, so whatever that reduces its contact with air might help. If the refrigerated fruit turns brown during storage, discard the top oxidized layer and enjoy the rest.

Avocado oil is used for both cooking and cosmetic.
