Why does everything that is "California" have avacado in it?!
Answers: Everything I've noticed that says "California" in the title has avacado in it. i.e. California Rolls, California BLT... How come? Is there avacado in everything in California? I know it sounds like a dumb question but we can't come up with a reasonable explanation.....
Because of its mild climate, California is able to grow avocados year round. There are approximately 6,000 avocado growers in California. And California produces about 95% of the nation's avocados.
So avocados is a BIG cash crop in that state. With all the avocados California produces, they are proud to incorporate the fruit into every day meals.
Ca is large producer of haas avacados.
There are ALOT of avocado trees in California, and when the fruit becomes ripe, you have tons of it:) .... also, it goes well with Mexican food, and there's alot of Mexican food in California ..... and ... avocados are EXTREMELY healthy for you (lots of good cholesterol), and Californians tend to eat alot of salads and fresh fruits & veggies, and are health-food aware ... (I lived there over 40 years)
We Californian's love our avocados, but there are a lot of things we like that don't have avocado in it. It just goes with so many things and it doesn't have to be cooked. In the summer when they are abundant we eat a lot of cold meals so avocados just seem like an easy choice and they are so good for you. We also have a lot of strawberries in the summer and we eat them on everything we can, while we can.
Because when they are gone, so is our summer and it seems like forever until we can have them again.
