The Avocado (Persea americana) comes from a wonderful tree native to Mexico and Central America that has provided not only its fruit (the avocado) for nourishment but also its leaves for herbal medicine and as a cooking spice to our Mayan and Nahuan peoples for thousands of years.
The avocado fruit provides essential fatty acids and vitamins and minerals and is one of the healthiest plant foods (not to mention tastiest).
The avocado leaves used as a cooking spice provide something similar in taste to anise and bay leaves combined. Medicinally avocado leaves are used for a wide array of ailments ranging from respiratory ailments to skin problems.
Ashta Nemanha Nuiknew!
