I have two cousins with huge organic avocado farms. Everything is grown organically, with naturally sourced water. They literally grow the best tasting avocados I've ever had. But they are unable to export anything because of how many palms that they have to grease.
Another dark side of avocado plantations are the use of excessive amount of water. Once they started to fruit the tree consumes a lot of water in order to sustain the fruit.
It's lead to farms using illegal water sources around Spain. Theres some great videos online of people trying to stop this but they're extremely dark/dangerous
The annoying thing is that after all this, they don't even taste nice. The ones in Africa specifically Zimbabwe are big and really creamy and flavourful
There are huge strip mines digging up lithium and other rare earth minerals to make batteries for Electric Vehicles that a way more damaging than an avocado orchard. But who cares.
LOL I had an Army friend from CT who and never seen one before... We had them in the mess hall in iraq. He loved them.... Try to get your hands on some... When they are soft is when they are ripe. Dont try to eat a hard one. Add a touch of salt.
If it taste like soap it was a rancid avocado or your guacamole had cilantro. And, lucky you, have the gene that picks up the "aldehyde" chemical on your tongue. Most people do not have that gene.
@@MrJohnkersey i'm a southeast i never knew the west treated avocado like butter, in my country we turn avocado into juice add some sugar, ice, and condense milk as flavour. Yummy 😂
Its kinda harmful to environment yo grow avocados in Spain dont you think? It shouldve been grow in countries with high rain intensity like tropical countries?
If you want to pay more 💰 money for one avocado 🥑......adding import fees, bill of lading for ports, gasoline for shipping.... Freezer for cooling long distances..... Goes on and on.....

Ok can you schlide me some green ones or
What ?!?!
@@rashoietolan3047 yes...only because you have a cool name
Sad
Do they need to check each avocado for ripeness before making guacamole in the factory? I can’t imagine they are all ripe at this stage
in cyprus we buy avocados unripe and it takes about a week in a dark place for this to happen ......i cant wait !!!!!!!!

You really could have edited out that alarm. It's kind of a nice thing to do for the viewers. Mostly the ones like me that are wearing earbuds.
You guys are awesome at using face masks 😷 😂.
It was likely filmed pre-covid
that is not face mask..it's beard cover / beard mask..
Jimmy could at least respect producer and wear the mask properly…
How do they even travel across the globe in order to make 4-6 minute videos? How does it pay off??
I have to make my own guacamole. When you buy it the consistency is pasty...yuk!
It should be pasty with some lumps... what do you like? Watery guac?
These big avocado plantations are damaging the environment and taking up too much water
Thats OK as long as we get them. :)

@@dave-yj9mc There are Communists/Socialists breathing and eating food, talk about a waste.
If you squeeze & stir a ½ lime into your guacamole, it won't turn brown. 😉
"Je veux un avocat" - "I want an avocado"
Never had one

dont eat the skin either.... cut in half and scoop out the fruit.
All that work to produce a fruit that tastes like a bar of soap.
A very yummy bar of soap 😋

@@alexinburlesontx9967 That is useful to know, it was my first time of trying it but have never had avocado since.

@@harukrentz435 if you have to add all that it cant be a lot of good to start with.
