Types of Avocado

Avocado

Avocado is a variety of avocado known as Hass or Fuerte, but in Brazil, it is commercially referred to as Avocado.

Rich in vitamins A, C, E, and B6, the Avocado is a functional and nutritious fruit. Its nutrients contribute to maintaining healthy skin, eye health, and preventing inflammation. Additionally, it has a high concentration of potassium, which helps prevent cramps.

The Avocado contains unsaturated fats and biologically active components such as phytosterols, which can inhibit cholesterol absorption and synthesis. Rich in fiber, it not only helps prevent diseases like cancer but also supports healthy bowel function. The omega-9 fat present in Avocado is particularly important for weight loss, as it helps reduce the body's inflammatory state.

The avocados from Camargo Lima are known for their creamy texture and mild flavor. Rich in healthy fats and essential nutrients, they are a key ingredient in many international recipes and a nutritious addition to any diet.

Breda

The Breda avocado is one of the main late varieties of avocado. It produces from late August to early January. It has a smooth, intense green skin and sweet, yellow flesh with a loose pit.

The Breda avocado tree is a small-sized tree. The fruit is small, weighing around 400 grams, and has a higher sugar content compared to other avocados, making it ideal for preparing guacamole, a typical Mexican dish. It has no fibers and a high yield of flesh.

It is a fruit tree native to Central America and widely cultivated throughout Brazil. It is an evergreen tree (retaining its leaves year-round) and can reach up to 20 meters in height when fully mature and well-developed.

Margarida

The Margarida avocado originated in Northern Paraná in 1979 and has become part of the extensive range of avocado varieties found in Latin America. The Margarida, a late variety with a harvest season from May to October, is named in honor of the farmer's wife who discovered the fruit.

This variety is distinguished from others by its rough and firm skin texture, spherical shape, longer maturation time, and greater mechanical resistance compared to those with smooth skin. This characteristic facilitates its commercialization, as it better withstands long-distance transportation.

The variety has the same nutritional properties as the avocado family, making it a great ally for those seeking a healthy and nutritious diet.
