What's Really Going On Behind the Avocado Industry
Omar Marrufo
Most people eat avocados every day without thinking twice about where they come from or what they're actually buying. Avo Fruit founder Omar Marrufo is here to change that. In this episode he pulls back the curtain on the avocado industry — from growing and distribution to store price differences, organic certification, and why the most famous avocado brand in America is really just a marketing slogan. He also covers the full lifecycle of an avocado, how to pick and preserve them properly, freeze dried avocado powder, avocado wine, avocado oil, upcoming new fruits from Avo Fruit, and the impact of tariffs on the industry. Plus a guacamole recipe straight from Michoacán. This is the avocado episode Miami didn't know it needed.
