Anyone celebrating the International Avocado Day on July 31?

Interesting facts about avocados:

Did you know that an avocado is a fruit, not a vegetable?

And that it contains more potassium than a banana?

Or that it’s one of the few fruits that doesn’t ripen on the tree but only after it’s been picked?

Tell me if you are preparing a special avocado-based dish today or tomorrow and what it contains.

I know the word also translates into testicles. And serving avocado on toast is the quickest way for people to lose respect for your cooking abilities. Avocado hand is a medical term, thousands of people are hospitalised each year when they hold half a fruit it their hand and whack the stone with a knife.

Why would they try to hack the fruit in half? They must have seen it when locals open a coconut. A bad idea in any circumstances.

You remove the stone by hitting it with a blade which digs in so you can pull it out. There's lots of pics of avocado hand injuries online

I didn't even know there was such a thing as International Avocado Day but I do enjoy eating avocado's from time to time.

International Avocado Day sounds like a fantastic excuse to indulge in this creamy delight. Avocados are indeed fascinating, aren't they? I absolutely love making an avocado-inspired dish, like a sushi roll featuring avocado and fresh fish, combining my love for both Japanese flavors and the buttery texture of the avocado. Alternatively, a simple yet flavorful avocado pasta captures my heart, mixing ripe avocados with lemon, garlic, and herbs. Avocados always manage to elevate a dish, don't you think? 🥑🍣
