Organic Hass Avocado

Michoacan is the premier producer of Hass avocados in the world. The 5,000′ elevation and the abundance of trace minerals found in the volcanic soil make ideal conditions for growing avocados that have an intense rich flavor. Beyond the climactic conditions, members of the Pragor co-operative have begun an extensive composting operation to improve the soil fertility on their farms.

The wonderful flavor is enough reason to keep a plentiful supply of avocados in your kitchen. But they are also very nutritious. The avocado is a great source of Phosphorus, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium, Iron and Boron as well as the antioxidants, Vitamin A, C and E. It is one of the best sources of Dietary Fiber and essential fatty acids. Avocados were long avoided because they were mistakenly believed to be unhealthy and high in cholesterol. Scientists and dietitians are now recommending them because they are high in the “good” monounsaturated fats, a great source of dietary fiber and vitamins and minerals.
