Avocado: The Fruit That Tricks Your Taste Buds!

Avocados are botanically fruits, not vegetables, a fact often overlooked due to their use in savory dishes. This classification is based on their development from flowers and the presence of a large seed. Taste is not the defining factor; many fruits are savory, and vegetables can be sweet. Their nutritional profile, however, is closer to that of fruits and boasts a rich amount of healthy fats and fiber. This makes them a far more nutrient-dense food than many vegetables. The creamy texture and savory use often lead to miscategorization.
