National Avocado Day History

National Avocado Day seeks to promote the consumption of the fruit. Avocados are large berries containing a single large seed. They originate from south-central Mexico and are typically cultivated in tropical climates. This day aims to raise awareness about the nutritious fruit. Avocados are heart-healthy and reduce the risk of cancer. They are also rich in vitamin B which helps reduce stress.

National Avocado Day seems to have been started in 2018 as a promotion for avocados. It is observed annually on July 31st.
