Wholesale Avocados

Heritage

Avocados (Persea americana), native to south-central Mexico, have a long history of cultivation by ancient civilisations, such as the Aztecs and Mayans. Known for their creamy flesh and rich flavour, avocados are now grown in various tropical and Mediterranean climates around the world. In the UK, their popularity has surged over the past few decades, with increasing consumer demand driving a wide variety of dishes, from classic guacamole to innovative salad creations. Rushton’s insists on sourcing avocados from growers who prioritise sustainable farming practices, ensuring we provide the best quality whilst minimising environmental impact.

Nutritional Profile

Avocados offer an impressive nutritional profile that makes them a desirable addition to menus:

• High in healthy monounsaturated fats, promoting heart health
• Excellent source of vitamins E, C, B6, and K
• Contains folate, which supports healthy cell function
• Rich in potassium, aiding in blood pressure regulation
• Provides fibre, contributing to digestive health

Incorporating avocados into your offerings not only enhances the taste but provides nutritional benefits that customers appreciate.

Avocados are remarkably versatile, allowing chefs to experiment in countless culinary applications:

• Sliced or diced in salads, adding creaminess and depth
• Mashed for dips, spreads, or on toast
• Incorporated into smoothies for added richness and nutrients

The creamy texture and subtle taste of avocados make them an ideal ingredient for a variety of cuisines, appealing to diverse palates.
