    I LOVE AVOCADOS. I eat 5 a week usually.

    I'll play . . . it's a fruit/berry.

    From wikipedia:

    "Avocado or alligator pear also refers to the fruit (botanically a large berry that contains a single seed) of the tree."

    A fruit - a large berry with a single seed.
    Same as tomato is a fruit with several seeds.

    Fruuuuit. So are bell peppers, tomatoes and zucchini. And while I'm at it, bell peppers have much more vitamin C than oranges do.

    Scientifically speaking, it is the ripened, seed-bearing ovary of a plant, thus (in botanical terms) it is a fruit. It also comes from a tree and can be used in fruit applications (some desserts etc), so many consider it a fruit.

    It is often considered a vegetable (in its culinary aspect) as it has many savory applications.

    So it is both a fruit and a vegetable.

    Fruit, and a delicious one at that. Love it with cottage cheese or smoked salmon.

    The avocado is widely considered a vegetable, since it is commonly used in salads. However, it is actually a fruit that tastes like a vegetable, and most markets display it with other typical fruits.

    In some areas, it is known as the avocado pear and also the alligator pear due to the pebbly, rough exterior of one of the common types. There are quite a few varieties of avocados, but most cooks develop a preference for a particular breed.

    The fruit is harvested from tall trees, which grow in groves. The rich, pale yellow-green flesh of the pear-shaped fruit has a texture likened to a firm ripe banana, smooth and buttery, with a faintly nutty flavor.

    The avocado (Persea americana) is a tree native to Central Mexico,[1] classified in the flowering plant family Lauraceae along with cinnamon, camphor and bay laurel. Avocado or alligator pear also refers to the fruit (botanically a large berry that contains a single seed[2]) of the tree.
