Yes, National Avocado Day Is a Thing—Here’s How We’re Celebrating
This July 31, take your avocado appreciation to the next level.
National Dog Day, Donut Day, Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day—do we really need more reasons to celebrate the things we know we love? Apparently, the answer is
yes.
Botanist and traveler David Fairchild is to thank for introducing the beloved "alligator pear" to the United States in the early 1900s, a move that would have a profound impact on the American palette for years to come. Found in everything from guacamole, to toast, to salad dressing, this good fat is a favorite among young and old alike—and it can be found on almost every menu and in every kitchen. (For more information on Fairchild’s work as a globetrotting food explorer, I highly recommend this engrossing biography.)
