Episode 06: Avocado - Pre-historic Fruit That Just Won’t Quit
If there were a prize for ugliest fruit ever, then this week’s food would be the hands-down winner!
Originally known as the Alligator Pear, it underwent a major makeover and is now known by a rather exotic name - AVOCADO.
A pre-historic berry that now finds a place of pride in every well-heeled Indian’s pantry, the story of how the avocado became the darling of the Low Carb/Keto crowd is a fascinating one.
Host Jitendra Chouksey aka JC digs deep into the history of this fruit and tackles the question that’s on everyone’s mind - is the avocado really a superfood?
