The avocado is the fruit of theavocado tree (Persea americana), a member of the Lauraceae family native toNorth America (Mexico).

Numerous writings mention the plant's use by the Aztecs, who used the flesh of the fruit to protect their skin from the drying winds. They also applied it to their hair to encourage growth and made ointments to delay the onset of old age.
