Avocado imported from Spain with a patented hybrid Criollo Michoacano & improved variety HASS The underlying avocado Criollo Michoacan comes from the Michoacan region of Mexico. It is an improved variation of the TOPA-TOPA variety that was and still is one of the best avocado seeds to use as rootstock for new avocado plants. This improved variety Criollo Michoacan, ensures:
- Higher tolerances in water & soil salinity.
- Greater tolerance to pathogenic avocado diseases. Specifically, it presents increased resistance to pathogenic soil diseases, such as Phytophthora cinnammomi, and fruit type fungi Rosellinia necatrix approaching the strengths of Duke 7 / Dusa / Toro Canyon clonal subjects)
- It ensures a significant improvement of the production having achieved productions of avocado fruits more homogeneous frame with larger diameter fruits of very delicious high commercial value.
To improve the variety Creole Michoacan have been used for more than three decades plant materials from different varieties of avocado trees in combination: As
- The Nachar Hybrid (Israel).
Nachar Hybrid makes avocado trees very hardy unsalted while ensuring enough high drought resistance
- Antillean plant material (West India) was also used
The Antillean Hybrid (West India) which gives a high productive potential to the crop 10-20% more than conventional avocado tree rootstocks. It also ensures resistance to pathogenic soil diseases, such as Phytophthora cinammomi, and fruit microfungi such as Rosellinia necatrix. In addition to the crosses that have been applied for a period of 30 years to the Criollo Michoacano hybrid, the new plants before grafting a hardening technique is performed. and control of the resistance of the young plant. In particular, conditions of heat stress and water stress are created, consisting of exposure of the plant without protection both during the Winter period and during the Summer period. For at least 6-7 days the young plant remains in water (flooded) while then it remains without water for 7 consecutive days. This way it becomes much more durable and hardens you in extreme situations. The root of the Michoacano Creole hybrid shows improved and high-yielding fruits in the leading commercial variety HASS. The Hass variety provides high quality fruits with a long shelf life both in the tree and in its harvesting and handling. The specific fruits / Hass fruits of the subject Criollo Michoacano gives:
- Possibility of maintenance and disposal after harvest for another 2 months.
- Allows long-term transport even by ship in case of export
- The graft used in the young plants comes from adult trees on a farm of 100 hectares of very high yield over 80 kg per tree.
Therefore all young trees as they mature will produce homogeneously large Class A fruit calibers. Cultivation frames. - Planting distances Suggested planting distances for standard cultivation of the Hass variety Criollo Michoacan because the trees are vigorous and fast growing it is for medium to high density planting is 5 x 4 . That is, about 50 trees per hectare. While for high density planting 3×4 meters and about 83 meters per hectare. It is important to prune systematically after 2.5 years and beyond. The trees should not exceed 4 meters in order to facilitate their collection and it is suggested as a compensation that their side branches grow in the form of an "open pine tree". As far as flowering is concerned, it begins in the period of April - May, while its fruits also bear fruit HASS Criollo Michoacan they start growing from the end of September with a full growth period of 6-7 months. Full ripening of the fruit for optimal levels of avocado vegetable oil fat is provided in late November to February with the ability to remain on the trees until April. This fact gives competitive advantage of a high producer price of quality Hass avocado fruit due to high demand and limited off-season production compared to the standard commercial Hass variety. For the proper development of avocado tree cultivation and the absorption of soil nutrients important is the PH of the soil to have values between 6-7 points. The subject imported from Spain Criollo Michoacan of variety Hate has endurance of production dynamics with ph ground up to 7.80 degrees It is therefore to imported from Spain subject Criollo Michoacan of variety Hate a unique investment choice for growers - farmers who look to the future with planning and responsibility.

About the avocado
12 proven health benefits of the avocado fruit.
Avocado is a rather unique fruit.
While most fruits are primarily composed of carbohydrates, the fruit is high in healthy fats. Many studies show that it has powerful health benefits. Here are 12 health benefits of avocados that are backed by scientific research.
This fruit is valued for its high nutrient content and is added to various dishes due to its good taste and rich texture. It is the main ingredient in guacamole. These days, avocado has become an incredibly popular food among health-conscious people. It is often referred to as a super food, which is not surprising given its health properties. There are many types of avocados that vary in shape and color – from pear to round and green to black. They can also weigh anywhere from 8 ounces (220 grams) to 3 pounds (1,4 kg). The most popular variety is the Hass avocado. It is often called "alligator pear," which is very descriptive, as it tends to be pear-shaped and has green, bumpy skin like an alligator. The yellow-green flesh inside the fruit is eaten, but the skin and seeds are discarded. Its fruit is very nutritious and contains a wide variety of nutrients, including 20 different vitamins and minerals. Here are some of the most abundant nutrients, in a 100 gram serving:
- Vitamin K: 26% of the daily value (DV)
- Folet: 20% of DV
- Vitamin C: 17% of DV
- Potassium: 14% of DV
- Vitamin B5: 14% of BM
- Vitamin B6: 13% of DV
- Vitamin E: 10% of BM
- It also contains small amounts of magnesium, manganese, copper, iron, zinc, phosphorus and vitamins A, B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin) and B3 (niacin).
This comes in at 160 calories, 2 grams of protein and 15 grams of healthy fats. Although it contains 9 grams of carbs, 7 of those are fiber, so there are only 2 "net" carbs, making this a low-carb food. Avocados contain no cholesterol or sodium and are low in saturated fat. This is why they are favored by some experts who believe that these substances are harmful, which is a debated topic, however.
SUMMARY: The avocado is a green pear-shaped fruit often referred to as the "alligator pear". It is full of healthy fats, fiber and various important nutrients.
Potassium is a nutrient that most people don't get enough of. This nutrient helps maintain the electrical gradients in your body's cells and serves several important functions. They have a very high potassium content. A 3,5-gram (100-gram) serving packs 14% of the recommended daily allowance (RDA), compared to 10% in bananas, which are a typical high-potassium food. Several studies show that high potassium intake is associated with a reduction in blood pressure, which is a major risk factor for heart attacks, strokes and kidney failure.
SUMMARY Potassium is an important mineral that most people do not have enough of. Avocados are very high in potassium, which should support healthy blood pressure levels.
The fruit is a high-fat food. In fact, 77% of the calories in it are from fat, making it one of the fattiest plant foods out there. But they don't only contain fat. Most of the fat in avocados is oleic acid – a monounsaturated fatty acid that is also the main component of olive oil and is believed to be responsible for some of its health benefits. Oleic acid has been associated with reduced inflammation and appears to have beneficial effects on cancer-related genes. The fats in its fruit are also resistant to heat-induced oxidation, making avocado oil healthy and safe for cooking.
SUMMARY The fruit and its oil are high in monounsaturated oleic acids, a healthy heart fatty acid that is believed to be one of the main reasons for the health benefits of olive oil.
Fiber is another nutrient and its fruits are relatively rich. It's harmless plant matter that can aid in weight loss, reduce blood sugar spikes, and is closely linked to a lower risk of many diseases. A distinction is often made between soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber is known for feeding the friendly gut bacteria in your gut, which are very important for optimal body function. A 3,5-gram (100-gram) serving of avocado contains 7 grams of fiber, which is 27% of the RDA. About 25% of the fiber in avocados is soluble, while 75% is insoluble.
SUMMARY Its fruits and berries tend to be high in fiber - about 7% by weight, which is very high compared to most other foods. Fiber can have significant benefits for weight loss and metabolic health.
Heart disease is the most common cause of death in the world. Several blood markers are known to be associated with increased risk. This includes cholesterol, triglycerides, inflammatory markers, blood pressure and various others. Eight controlled human studies have examined the effects of avocado on some of these risk factors. These studies showed that avocados can:
- Significantly lower your total cholesterol levels.
- Reduce blood triglycerides by up to 20%.
- Lower LDL cholesterol up to 22%.
- Increase HDL ("good") cholesterol by up to 11%.
One of the studies found that following a low-fat, vegetarian diet significantly improved the cholesterol profile. While their results are impressive, it's important to note that all of the human studies were small and short-term, including only 13-37 people and lasting 1-4 weeks.
SUMMARY Numerous studies have shown that eating avocados can improve heart disease risk factors such as total, "bad" LDL and "good" HDL cholesterol, as well as blood triglycerides.
A study examined the eating habits and health of people who eat its fruits on a daily basis. Data from 17.567 participants in the US NHANES survey were analyzed. Avocado consumers were found to be much healthier than people who did not eat this fruit. They had a much higher nutrient intake and were half as likely to have metabolic syndrome, a cluster of symptoms that is a major risk factor for heart disease and diabetes. People who ate avocados regularly also weighed less, had a lower BMI and significantly less belly fat. They also had higher levels of "good" HDL cholesterol. However, correlation does not imply causation, and there is no guarantee that avocados caused these people's better health. Therefore, this particular study does not carry much weight.
SUMMARY A nutritional study found that people who ate avocados had much higher nutrient intake and a lower risk of metabolic syndrome.
When it comes to nutrients, your intake isn't the only thing that matters. You also need to be able to absorb these nutrients – move them out of your digestive system and out of your body where they can be used. Some nutrients are fat soluble, meaning they must be combined with fat to be used. Vitamins A, D, E and K are fat soluble, along with antioxidants such as carotenoids. One study showed that adding avocado or avocado oil to either salad or salsa can increase antioxidant absorption 2,6 to 15 times. So not only is avocado super nutritious, it can dramatically increase the nutritional value of the other plant foods you eat. This is a great reason to always include a healthy source of fat when eating vegetables. Without it, many of the beneficial plant nutrients will end up wasted.
SUMMARY Studies have shown that eating avocado or avocado oil with vegetables can dramatically increase the number of antioxidants you take.
Not only do avocados increase antioxidant absorption from other foods, they are also high in antioxidants themselves. This includes the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin, which are extremely important for eye health. Studies show they are associated with a drastically reduced risk of cataracts and macular degeneration, which are common in older adults. Therefore, eating avocados should benefit your eye health in the long run.
SUMMARY Avocados are high in antioxidants, such as lutein and zeaxanthin. These nutrients are very important for eye health and reduce the risk of macular degeneration and cataracts.
There is limited evidence that avocados may be beneficial for the treatment and prevention of cancer. Test-tube studies suggest it may help reduce the side effects of chemotherapy in human lymphocytes. Avocado extract has also been shown to inhibit the growth of prostate cancer cells in a laboratory. However, keep in mind that these studies were done in single cells and don't necessarily prove what might happen inside people. Human-based research is not available.
SUMMARY Some studies in test tubes have shown that the nutrients in avocados can have benefits in preventing prostate cancer and reducing the side effects of chemotherapy. However, human-based research is lacking.
Arthritis is a common problem in Western countries. There are many types of this condition, which are often chronic problems that people have for the rest of their lives. Multiple studies suggest that extracts of avocado and soybean oil – called asaponoids and soy – can reduce osteoarthritis. Whether avocados themselves have this effect remains to be seen.
SUMMARY Studies have shown that avocado and soybean oil extracts can significantly reduce the symptoms of osteoarthritis.
There is some evidence that avocados are a weight loss friendly food. In one study, people who ate avocado with a meal felt 23% more satisfied and had a 28% lower desire to eat over the next 5 hours, compared to people who did not consume this fruit. If this is the case in the long run, then including avocados in your diet can help you consume fewer calories and make it easier to maintain healthy habits. They're also high in fiber and very low in carbohydrates, two features that should help promote weight loss, at least as part of a healthy, real-food diet.
SUMMARY Avocados can help you lose weight by keeping you fuller and making you eat fewer calories. It is also high in fiber and low in carbohydrates, which can promote weight loss.
Avocados are not only healthy, they are also extremely tasty and go with many types of food. You can add them to salads and various recipes or just scoop them out with a spoon and eat them plain. They have a creamy, rich, oily texture and combine well with other ingredients. A notable mention is guacamole, which is arguably the most famous use of avocados. It includes avocado along with ingredients like salt, garlic, lime and a few others, depending on the recipe. Its fruit often takes some time to ripen and should feel slightly soft when ripe. The nutrients in the avocado can oxidize and turn brown soon after the flesh, but adding lemon juice should slow that process down.
SUMMARY They have a creamy, rich, oily texture and combine well with other ingredients. Therefore, it is easy to add this fruit to your diet. Using lemon juice can prevent avocados from cutting out quickly.
Avocados are a great food, packed with nutrients, many of which are lacking in the modern diet. They ensure weight loss, are helpful for heart health and taste very good.
