The importance of the bioactive compounds of avocado fruit (Persea americana Mill) on human health
Mexico is the largest producer, exporter and consumer of avocados (Persea americana Mill) in the world. The demand for this fruit in some non-producing countries is currently high. The main motivation for this fruit’s consumption is its exquisite taste and pleasant texture. However, recent research...

However, recent research has suggested that this fruit can exert protective effects on human health, as empirically determined centuries ago by the inhabitants of pre-Hispanic Mexico.
