    As a Mexican I can tell you that you even use the leaves as condiment, there are many types of “aguacate”, the one with the thin skin is good too but more difficult to ship, there’s another variety that you can even eat the skin, and in the southeast part of Mexico they have a larger one with a much sweeter taste

      i cannot imagine liking a sweet avacado, i wouldn't describe an avacado as flavorful, i would say its nice and ripe , it has a wonderful texture but the taste doesn't capture the sweet or savory catagory ,the taste is nuetral, and i wouldn't eat an avacado without at least salt but also with something else

      @aopstoar4842 6 років тому +82

      I am still surprised there is not an eating license issued by the state. How can people be allowed to eat their own food without the proper licensing of competence, so as to render the consumption certified and fit for communal reciprocity? The old natural habits of just putting things in your mouth is so stone age, there needs technical supervision and tracking via VR360 plus ID tagging and geolocation. The more data about the people the better. Total surveillance to feed the AI as many data points as possible.

      It may be related to the natural toxicity of avocados. Ripening often suppresses or decreases the toxicity of unripe fruits. If you give a avocado to a canary it will die. I also read about someone who got kidney problems after eating avocados daily for a few months. Avocado leaves are also extremely toxic to goats.

    • @escapee8598
      @escapee8598 6 років тому +8

      Dream Big valid points about small amounts of toxin in avocados (which is called persin, btw). birds and cattle are indeed affected by it and california is right to pass the law. but to be fair, if you eat one food in excess for a prolonged period of time, you going to have some type of digestion problem sooner or later. everything should be taken in moderation. avocados are great for reducing cholesterol and along with olives one fruit that contains monounsaturated fat.

      That's true, I'm sure avocado trees grew in other countries close to Mexico. I just find it enlightening that one of my favorite fruits originated from a region of the world where my roots are from. There are other fruits and vegetables I love and I'm glad they grew wherever they did because now we can all share them and expand the regions of where they can grow.

      If they're cold it's too late lol, but I keep them in the fridge once their ripe if I have too many, once back to room temp they taste fine. Just don't put them in there until they're ripe. If you have a wine cooler that's the best place for extending the life of already ripe avocados, wine coolers are about 20 degrees F/ 10ish degrees warmer than the average fridge, so they're aren't too cold but they're cool enough to keep them from going over ripe

    I've learnt everything that I know about avocados from my parents; from planting, to eating; we never bought avocados! I grew up eating them, and I just love them! Those trees can be 30-60 feet tall.
    I'm not in my home country any longer, but whenever I visit I enjoy them, and when returning I also bring a few with me. We have many types of avocados in my home country, but I only remember a few of them by names. One type the locals called bottle-neck, because of its shape; it's 13 inches long, has a thin skin, thick yellow flesh as butter, and taste buttery, with a tiny seed as that of an egg.
    The other type is pear shaped, and it's about 8 inches long, the skin is a little thicker than the bottle-neck, it's also yellow as butter, and has a lovely flavour. The other one is the Pollock, and a few others, but I don't remember their names.
    When I relocated to Canada, it was very difficult for me, getting used to the taste of the avocados that we get here, but not very long I got used to the taste; I do like them now!
    I had never eaten a small avocado such as Hass, until I relocated; in fact, I never knew there were such small avocados!
    Nice video! Thank you so much, and God bless.

    Very good to know that they can grow back even better from stumps considering I live in Texas and droughts are an annual thing. 2019 has been weird since there has been enough rain that we didn't have a drought or much of one this year. It's a welcomed change but I'm not expecting a repeat next year.

    Another beautifully-done episode. Thx!
    Random facts: The fuerte (strong) variety is apparently the weakest. Avocado, or variations of it (aguacate, abacate, avocat), is similar to "lawyer" in most Romance languages (abogado, avocat, avogado, avvocato). This apparent connection either happened through a process of folk etymology or there's actually a link between lawyer (advocate) and testicle (testis used to mean "witness", or someone who testifies). Guacamole comes from ahuaca-molli, from ahuacatl, "avocado" + molli "sauce." In Spanish, mole is a chili salsa. In Colombia, guacala is slang for "yuck". In Brazil, they drink avocado juice with milk and sugar.

      tupisamba211 I like your explanation but I also think that the pronunciation, in Spanish at least, is simply the spaniards best attempt at speaking the natives language since the Spanish word sounds almost the same; if you're a native Spanish speaker you'll notice that in Spanish we don't pronounce the last letter "l". There are lots of words that are so close to their original. I'll give you an easy one, you may already know it, maíz. Can you tell me the native word for it? Saludos desde Nicaragua.

      How Does it Grow? Maíz, corn, comes from the Tahino, Dominican Republic, Mahiz. Here's another one, cocoa in English, cacao in Spanish and in the Nahuatl is ?

    • @tupisamba211
      @tupisamba211 7 років тому +1

      Exactly. This is what I meant by folk etymology ('the process by which the form of an unfamiliar or foreign word is adapted to a more familiar form through popular usage').
      While we're being word-nerds. I always found the disputed etymology of the word chicano to be interesting. There was once a shift from Nahuatl into Spanish where the pronunciation of the letter X went from a 'sh' sound to a 'h' sound. If you shorten 'mexicano' to 'xicano', while adding the original Aztec pronunciation, it basically becomes 'shicano', or chicano.
      As an addendum to my original comment: I mentioned the guacala (pronounced 'wacala') slang only because it obviously reads like 'guacamole' and since I'm not a huge fan of avocado (sorry, Nicole), I created a new word guacala-mole, lol.

    Very interesting. I knew about them never ripening while on the tree but didn't know that the fruit would dry out if the stem button was removed. Nice tip. I have grown Hass avocado trees not expecting to get fruit on them because they were not grafted like a farmer said they must be. After trying several methods (including the toothpick trick) I settled for just placing wiped clean pit's into the ground around the yard 1-2 inches & watered often but not to often. In a few years we had several Avocado trees & one had fruit on it. Very very tasty; smaller than the stores have but so what. I understand that you have to have a male & female tree in order for any fruits to grow. If you have the yard space give it a try just plant several (I planted 7 pits in all) in your yard. Good luck.
