Consider the avocado. As the word rolls off of your tongue it conjures mouth watering images of your last visit to a favorite Mexican restaurant. The rich buttery fruit is used in everything from soups to salads and dozens of entrees in-between. It’s not sweet, but rich and smooth, with an almost creamy texture, yet it is used in both savory and sweet dishes. It’s also very popular in vegetarian cuisine as a substitute for meats in sandwiches because of its high fat content. The avocado is native to Central Mexico. It is a commercially valuable cash crop and is cultivated in tropical and Mediterranean climes throughout the world. The fruit was introduced from Mexico to California in the 19th century and has become a highly successful cash crop in the United States. About 59,000 acres, 95 percent of the United States avocado crop, is located in Southern California.

Now consider investing in the avocado. It turns out that they have been quite popular lately with consumers and investors alike.  Calavo Growers ,  Inc . ( NASDAQ : CVGW )....................
