"As consumers expand their interest in better-for-you snacking options, avocado consumption is growing at a record pace,” said Tara Murray, vice president of marketing. “Over the past 20 years, avocados have been on an upward trajectory. Americans now eat 8.5 pounds per person per year — up 278% since 2000. Avocados are naturally nutrient-rich, and the array of vitamins and minerals they contain are not often found together in one place.”
