Like the banana, the avocado is a climacteric fruit, which matures on the tree, but ripens off the tree. Avocados used in commerce are picked hard and green and kept in coolers at 3.3 to 5.6 Â°C (37.9 to 42.1 Â°F) until they reach their final destination. Avocados must be mature to ripen properly.
Avocado is also known as the alligator pear because of the rough skin on some varieties. In the 17th and 18th centuries the fruit was also commonly known as butter pear. In tropical Central America, avocado trees have been growing wild for thousands of years, providing natives with a rich food.
