Avocado
(Persea gratissima)
The majestic Avocado tree with its emerald foliage thrives in tropical climates. Native to the humid forests of Mexico, its pretty ovoid fruit is primarily valued for its creamy and delicate flesh.
Traditional medicine uses the oil extracted from this pulp, and not from the stone as we might think, for its soothing, softening and toning properties. It is also known to improve vision, stimulate appetite and restore shine to dry hair.
