This kind of food has no obvious taste, and its taste is neither crisp nor sweet. How to be accepted by "heavy-tasting" China people? The reason is also very simple. The main "selling point" of avocado is health! This "imported product" suddenly entered the "healthy food list" of China people. So is avocado so magical?

According to statistics, in 20 10, China imported only 2 tons of avocado, but in 20 17, this number has increased to 32 100 tons! Ten thousand times the growth. Almost all new restaurants offer avocado dishes for customers who are pursuing health and fashion. In these restaurants, large and small restaurants, without a few avocados, are embarrassed to say salad. Avocado even once became the representative of high-end healthy and nutritious food.

According to the data released by an authoritative consulting company, in China, the products labeled as "super food" and "super fruit" increased by 202% from 20 1 1 to 20 15, and naturally their sales also increased. Not only did they represent the lifestyle of "importing goods" with petty bourgeoisie sentiment, but more importantly, they sold a dose of reassuring medicine to China people who had been worried about health and food safety for a long time.

Many people in China think so. In fact, nutritionists have said that "super food" is actually a publicity stunt, and there is no clear definition in the field of nutrition. These foods may be just a common ingredient in the country of origin. After coming to China across the ocean, it was labeled as "anti-cancer, anti-aging, weight loss and high nutrition" and successfully occupied the China market.

In the past five years, the search volume of super food has been on the rise. The orange line represents avocado, the green line represents quinoa, and the blue line represents Chia seeds.

As far as avocado is concerned, the key words of publicity focus on "protecting the heart, lowering cholesterol and losing weight". The reason is that avocado contains about 2% protein, while ordinary fruit is almost zero, which is why people often say that it is nutritious.

Fat calories of an avocado = 3 bowls of rice.

Avocados contain protein, and almost no other fruits contain this protein. But many people ignore that avocado has such a high fat content that it is simply not like fruit! According to nutritionists, the calorie of an avocado is equivalent to about 3 bowls of rice. Don't underestimate eating this kind of fruit, you may get fat if you are not careful.
