World Avocado Organisation Thanks Hon’ble Prime Minister of India for Spotlighting the Nutritional Benefits and Versatility of Avocados
The World Avocado Organisation thanked the Prime Minister for spotlighting avocados’ nutritional benefits and versatility, promoting everyday Indian uses from masala toast to smoothies.
“It is encouraging to see avocados being recognised at such a significant national platform. We are grateful to the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India for highlighting their nutritional benefits and versatility. This gives us an opportunity to further engage with Indian consumers and inspire them to make avocados a simple and enjoyable part of their everyday diets. We are seeing increases in production of avocados every year in India and WAO will continue to increase awareness and consumption” — Zac Bard, Chairman, World Avocado OrganisationFor those trying avocado for the first time, choosing and using it can be simple. Look for an avocado that gives slightly to gentle pressure; if it is firm, allow it to ripen at room temperature. Once ready, simply slice or mash it and try it on masala toast, with a roti or paratha, in a sandwich or wrap, or blend it into a smoothie. These familiar, easy options can make avocado an approachable addition to everyday Indian meals. The World Avocado Organisation will continue to work with health and nutrition experts, chefs, retailers, trade partners and content creators to encourage greater understanding and consumption of avocados in India.
