Avocado: Origin
The avocado came to our lands between the years 1450 to 1475. It is believed the avocado production in Peru dates back to the 15th century, after the Inca conquest of the town called Palta. Peruvian mestizo chronicler „Garcilaso de la Vega“ recounts in his chronicles how Túpac Inca Yupanqui conquered the southern part of Ecuador, in which the native peopel from „Palta“ lived, which later led to the fruits name.
