I am no fan of avocado and hope efforts to recover from the environmental harms brought about by its over-cultivation will succeed.

: Avocados are delicious but their cultivation requires too much water for a burning planet and has led to cartel violence.

Gingo!
I have never heard of this,

. Thanks for sharing it. I already am skeptical of buying Mexican produce because of the corrupt nature of its business practices, and now will double-down when it comes to avocados

I think ours come from Spain. I’ll have to check next time I’m in the shop. I don’t buy them often but having the avocado tester in the shop definitely makes me more prone to buy them.
