New Delhi [India], September 14: The World Avocado Organisation (WAO) expresses its sincere gratitude to the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India for highlighting the nutritional value and versatility of avocados and recognising their growing relevance in the Indian diet.
The Prime Minister’s mention has brought valuable national attention to avocados, helping strengthen awareness around their nutritional benefits and their potential to become a more regular part of Indian meals. WAO welcomes this recognition as an important opportunity to further educate consumers about the fruit and its many possibilities across everyday eating occasions.
Avocados are naturally rich in healthy fats, dietary fibre and essential nutrients. Healthy fats are an important part of a balanced diet, while dietary fibre supports digestive health and can help keep you feeling fuller for longer. Beyond nutrition, avocados have a creamy texture and buttery taste that makes them easy to enjoy in a wide range of everyday meals. From masala toast, sandwiches, wraps and salads to smoothies and Indian-style preparations, avocados can add both flavour and nutrition to familiar foods.
“It is encouraging to see avocados being recognised at such a significant national platform. We are grateful to the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India for highlighting their nutritional benefits and versatility. This gives us an opportunity to further engage with Indian consumers and inspire them to make avocados a simple and enjoyable part of their everyday diets. We are seeing increases in production of avocados every year in India and WAO will continue to increase awareness and consumption”
— Zac Bard, Chairman, World Avocado Organisation
For those trying avocado for the first time, choosing and using it can be simple. Look for an avocado that gives slightly to gentle pressure; if it is firm, allow it to ripen at room temperature. Once ready, simply slice or mash it and try it on masala toast, with a roti or paratha, in a sandwich or wrap, or blend it into a smoothie. These familiar, easy options can make avocado an approachable addition to everyday Indian meals. The World Avocado Organisation will continue to work with health and nutrition experts, chefs, retailers, trade partners and content creators to encourage greater understanding and consumption of avocados in India.
