Green Gold: The History of the Avocado

from Eat My Globe · host Simon Majumdar

On this episode of Eat My Globe, our host, Simon Majumdar, explores the history of the avocado from its rather unusual name in Nahuatl to how the Hass avocado became the most popular in the world. He will also look at how avocadoes were used for trade and how an Australian chef took (or may have taken) a wonderful brunch dish around the world. He will also discuss the odd names the avocado may have been given in the past.
