Stuffed avocado
Stuffed avocado recipe: Avocado gets its name from the Aztec language Nahuatl, which had the word ahuacatl, which means ‘fruit of the avocado tree’ and ‘testicle’, referring to the shape of the fruit. Avocados were discovered in Mexico approximately around 291 B.C. The word ‘avocado’ itself appeared in print during the 17th century in Europe, and then in America in 1697. Sir Henry Sloane was reputedly the first person to use the word in English. The Spanish explorers discovered the Aztecs enjoying the fruit, which was used by them as a sexual stimulant. Since they were unable to pronounce the Aztec word for the fruit, they called it aguacate. This fruit must reach full maturity before they are picked. However, avocados do not soften on the tree.
