Last sunday, while browsing a new grocery shop, I stumbled on this interesting looking fruit. It ended on my shopping list before I could think twice.
It was not before I got back home, that I realized it’s an avocado brazilian style. It’s much bigger than a Haas avocado, however do not expect a huge bowl of Guacamole from it! Besides the looks, the two kinds of avocado have very different character. The brazilian one has a more firm and crunchy pulp, with a fresh zest in the sweet taste. No creamy feeling, like you would expect from a Haas!
After a quick google search, I made a smoothie with some apple and soy milk. Sweet and refreshing! It’s also great spooned after a meal, like you would do to a melon. A proper dessert fruit, that is.
The nut is half-dipped in water, waiting (hoping) to sprout.
The nut is now sitting on my my windowsill with feet in water, waiting to sprout – I’m the one waiting, to be fair. While the dried skin of one half made a nice (but frail) bowl.
