Fellow avocado lovers, smashed avo enthusiasts, guacamole addicts, I have news for you. Quite literally, BIG news.
And no, before you ask, it has nothing to do with buying houses.
Hawaiian farmer Kenji Fukumitsu (also known as avocado god) is growing some newborn size avocados in Hōlualoa on Hawaii’s Big Island.
Now, let’s just do some quick maths here.
The average avocado weighs in at around six ounces, palm sized and ready to spoon out on your buttery bread. Fukumitsu’s gargantuan avocados are a record breaking six pounds and two ounces. That’s approximately 16 times the size of a normal avocado, 16 times more green, mushy goodness.
That equals so much bloody avocado to spread on toast. Or buckets of guac. Pick your poison.
Even more unfathomable, he didn’t just produce just one, one off bundle of joy avocado. He has a tree that has been in his family for the past 80 years that’s been producing monster avos like these.
