For some reason they require a sea breeze and are grown on a slope that faces the sea. Is this true?

Also there were over 20 varieties of Avocados grown in California in the 50′s and 60′s but the Haas became the most popular, so gradually now the Haas is the main variety you see in the markets these days.

I now live in Miami and the tree
in my backyard produces the large Florida avo’s which are as oily as the CA Haas
variety. Great article. Thanks, varaha

I try to eat a half of one every day. I just sprinkle a little himalayan salt on it. Unless I’m making an avocado dip, I don’t bother adding anything to it. So good for u!!!

I have seen and taste these two spicies in what we call TEX_MEX restaurants but if you visit Mexico and tdon’t think you will see or taste that kind of guacalome.
