The original name for avocado is
Ahuacatl, an Aztec word which means testicle. The avocado tree is
originated from Central America and Mexico. The plant is cultivated
in countries with very warm or hot climates. The fruit, when
ripened, is very tasty and is used in many savory dishes. It can
also be used as an aphrodisiac to stimulate the sex drive.
The fruit consists 67% fat and mostly made up of oleic acid and
monounsaturated fat. An oil is extracted from the fat found in this
fruit, and can be used in cosmetics, lubricants, and cooking oil.
Avocado oil is also used in the manufacturing of numerous skin-care
products.
