Avocado
also called alligator pear
About
The avocado is a fat-rich fruit whose flesh is just slightly lighter than water by volume.
Avocado has a typical density of about 8.1 ounces per cup (0.97 grams per milliliter), making it slightly less dense than water. Because of its high natural oil content, mashed avocado will barely float rather than sink. One cup holds approximately half a pound (0.23 kilograms) of creamy flesh. It takes up about the same amount of space as other thick fruit purees like applesauce or mashed bananas.
From Wikipedia
The avocado, alligator pear or avocado pear is an evergreen tree in the laurel family (Lauraceae). It is native to the Americas, with archaeological evidence of early human avocado use dating back thousands of years across various regions of Central and South America.
