Something you can make with ripe avocados
Origin
Avocados are believed to have originated in south-central Mexico, where they have been cultivated for thousands of years. The exact origin of avocados is not known, but they are believed to have been domesticated by the ancient Mesoamerican civilizations such as the Aztecs and the Mayans. The fruit was highly valued by these civilizations and was often referred to as the \"butter fruit\" due to its creamy texture. Avocados were later introduced to other parts of the world through Spanish explorers and traders. Today, avocados are grown in many countries around the world, with major producers including Mexico, the United States, the Dominican Republic, and Peru.
