Avocado is experiencing its day in the sun. No, that’s not a pun. We’re not saying that because the green, creamy fruit is grown in sunshine-rich regions of the world.

Avocado is versatile, a go-to solution for a healthy breakfast or snack when time is short and the refrigerator bare. The buttery fruit is loaded with vitamins, minerals, and good fats like Omega-3.

Nevertheless, cafes in Australia served avocado smashed toast – or what they lovingly refer to as “nature’s butter” – long before New York.
