Where do avacados grow?

Avocados are native to Central America and South America. The trees are evergreen, and they can grow up to 60 feet tall. Avocados are a climacteric fruit, which means that they continue to ripen after they are picked. They are typically picked when they are still green, and they will ripen to a dark purple or black color. Avocados are a good source of vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats. They can be eaten fresh, used in salads, or made into guacamole.
