Aussies search out seed of enormous avocado

0

A photograph of an enormous avocado has gone viral with Facebook users shocked by its odd shape and sheer size.

Earlier this week Miami Fruit wrote on Facebook “the avocados are popping off right now”.

The photo of the huge avocado has been shared more than 2,100 times including by Australian Organic, the member based not-for-profit organisation protecting and promoting our ecological resources.

People were shocked by the large fruit with some asking how to get their hands on one.

How do we get a seed and plant to Australia? one woman wrote.

Another woman jokingly suggested just one of them would cost $100 in Melbourne.

Others were simply salivating at the idea of getting their hands on one.

What dreams are made of, one woman joked.

Another added it would be “enough for avo on toast for a week”.

Miami Fruit say it’s not unusual for South Florida farmers to grow dozens of unique varieties not common in any other part of the mainland USA.
