Question: What fruit, brought to Florida in 1833, now offers 56 Florida varieties?
Answer: The Florida Avocado.
The avocado has more protein than any other fruit and is an excellent source of fiber, folate, potassium, and vitamins C, E, and K. Avocados are in season in Florida from June through January and grow best in South Florida’s warm temperatures. Miami-Dade and Collier counties produce the largest amount of avocados in the state.
