Is Avocado a Fruit or a Vegetable?

Avocado plays an indispensable role in the culinary world. This is due to its extremely useful taste and nutritional qualities, which rank it among the most widely used products in various recipes.

Avocado is rich in fiber, antioxidants, vitamins and healthy fats. It has a number of useful properties and its taste offers a wide range in various savory and sweet recipes.

The unusual taste of the guacamole base is also the main reason why there is disagreement about whether avocado is a fruit or a vegetable.

The answer to this question:

Although avocados don't have the typical sweet taste of fruit, they are still officially designated as a fruit. According to botanists, the avocado has every reason to be defined as a fruit, but the main one is that it is fleshy, relatively sweet and grows on a tree.

The origin of the avocado is Mexican and it is grown as a fruit on a tree. It has a creamy core, a characteristic green color and an uneven rough skin.

Despite the specific taste of avocado, this fruit can be a great ingredient for preparing soups, sauces, glazes, salads and almost any type of dish.

It is the specific taste qualities that make the avocado one of the most popular and versatile fruit in the culinary world, which healthy salads and delicious meals are prepared with.
