Produce OASIS Tip of the Day

March 24 - Avocado History & Trivia:

Avocados date back to 8,000 B.C., and are native to Mexico and Central America.

In the past, the avocado had a well-entrenched reputation for inducing sexual prowess and wasn't purchased or consumed by any person wishing to protect their image from slanderous assault. Growers had to sponsor a public relations campaign to dispel the ill-founded reputation before avocados became popular.

OASIS has much more information on avocados.
