Price of Avocados

[Ragnarohk]

Avocados are considered a luxury in some countries.
What's the price of an avocado where you live?

Avocado season ended recently here in Guatemala. Prices went as low as $0.19USD per unit, so that's 5 avocados for $1 USD.

think i saw 8 frozen halves for £3.50.

i don't eat them personally but hipsters have certainly driven up prices of the avocado, it's the cool "hip" thing to eat.

It's cheaper for me just to buy the guacamole and build my own avocados.

11 avocados for 1 USD? Holy shit that's dirt cheap.
We pay at least 2 USD for 1 avocado here, year round. (Denmark)

It's also a very healthy fruit to eat, which is why many do eat it.

They are full of fat, and are pretty much devoid of flavor, hence why guacamole needs so many things to make it taste good

$2 per avocado. Wisconsin.

[Wyrt]

$1.25 at normal stores. Though local store sells them for $1.60 because they're "organic."

[Serpha]

About 0.45 per 1 which is not a lot if you are single but when you have family to feed this shit adds up.

[Jonnusthegreat]

They are full of fat

That's precisely why they are so good for you.

[Independent voter]

About $1 a piece for the big ones.

Ooops I messed up with the math.
$0.19 per unit. $1USD = 5 avocados. Still cheap tho

[Puupi]

4-5 euros/kg

They are full of fat

Fat isn't universally bad. They contain unsaturated fat, which is basically healthy fat! It can lower your cholestorel.
Anyway, as I'm not too well-versed in this you can read on in a few of these articles, if you're interested in expanding your horizon on nutrition.

4 for $1 in AZ, we grow a few trees here where I live, can't wait for those and the figs to get ripe.

And yeah that is very cheap! But I guess it makes sense given that Guatemala is an avocado-producing country. We have to import them from the other side of the world so that drives up the price.

[Boricha]

Not sure tbh. I pay $3.99 for a generously sized container of guacamole.

[RobertoCarlos]

Quite expensive in New Zealand, which is a shame, I love em.

Decent sized one is like 2-3 dollars each, which is about 1 and a half us dollars

Supermarkets rip you off, its better to find a fruit vendor

[McFuu]

Depends on what store I go in, but generally 3-5 for $2 to be a good enough deal.

[Piglord]

I wouldn't know. Avocados look like Satan's nut, and they taste fucking horrible.

[RobertoCarlos]

Aren't avocados loaded with fat?

Yes but its the type of fat that is good for you.
