The article announces the start of avocado season in Taiwan, highlighting the return of locally grown avocados that are larger, cheaper, and more environmentally friendly than imported Hass avocados. The Council of Agriculture (COA) is encouraging consumers to try these local varieties, which are more popular than ever, as they are suitable for a wider range of dishes beyond guacamole or toast. The cultivation of avocados in Taiwan has expanded significantly since 2011, with more land dedicated to the crop, particularly in southern Taiwanese regions. Locally grown avocados are also rich in essential nutrients like unsaturated and essential fatty acids, fiber, vitamins B and C, and minerals such as potassium and magnesium.
