To most reasonable human beings, the avocado is the perfect fruit.
They’re so versatile they can be eaten at any meal (even dessert!), they are small and portable and most importantly: very, very tasty.
The only thing an avocado ever did wrong was perhaps be a little bit on the expensive side. Or perhaps send someone to the emergency room.
(Oh, and they may be the cause of an entire generation of Australians being unable to afford to buy a home…)

For the most part, we’re not sure why someone would ever want to ‘improve’ the humble avocado.
But that’s exactly what one Spanish company has done, announcing they have created an actual “diet” avocado.
Euboanan’s Isla Bonita brand says their ‘new and improved’ avo has a “mild” flavour, a “juicier” pulp and only 70 per cent of the fat content of ‘regular’ avocados.
