Avocados have become a super trendy food, but few of us know how they're even grown or harvested. We visit a California farm to uncover the amazing story of the avocado - and share the secrets to choosing, ripening and cutting the fruit.

She seems like the nicest person you will ever meet
You seem like the nicest person I will ever meet -- thank you!
Maybe you are right :-)
:0
Im 200% sure on that too...so, so nice...no par...;-)
probably
This channel is so underrated. TRUE FOOD TV deserves millions of subs.
I know right. I don't know why 1K people disliked this
I’m with that, they do ! especially with the quality in this video and the information that we are receiving its really good and so addicting to keep watching
So it is so under growth!
Totally agree
it will reaches millions soon, as content is superb.
i never bought a single avocado, yet i eat it everyday..
how?
thanks to my dad for planting one.. and now it's a giant tree
The Elite how long till it started to produce fruits
The Elite my dad has 15 trees.
We have like 5 avocado trees around our house. 😋😋
Every avocado 🥑 costs around 2$
Hahaha me too my mom planted avocado when we were young and it growns now. And we enjoy it and we even sell it hahaha
As a Mexican I can tell you that you even use the leaves as condiment, there are many types of “aguacate”, the one with the thin skin is good too but more difficult to ship, there’s another variety that you can even eat the skin, and in the southeast part of Mexico they have a larger one with a much sweeter taste
i cannot imagine liking a sweet avacado, i wouldn't describe an avacado as flavorful, i would say its nice and ripe , it has a wonderful texture but the taste doesn't capture the sweet or savory catagory ,the taste is nuetral, and i wouldn't eat an avacado without at least salt but also with something else
The "Florida" type avocados?
@@silence-humility-calmness in Brazil it's more common to eat avocado sweet than salty (not the same type of avocado). In English it's called florida-type avocado I believe and it doesn't have a strong flavor. I only started eating avocados with salt when I was 22 lol
@@Forlfir so you eat it like a peach or apple? or do you still use it as an add on to bread or salads?
Sounds delicious. Would love to try one
As a Mexican I can't help but be proud that avocados originate from Mexico. I love avocados! They're my favorite and I eat one avocado almost everyday! Thank you for the video again!
Plants don't have boarders they originate from central America, so not just Mexico
That's true, I'm sure avocado trees grew in other countries close to Mexico. I just find it enlightening that one of my favorite fruits originated from a region of the world where my roots are from. There are other fruits and vegetables I love and I'm glad they grew wherever they did because now we can all share them and expand the regions of where they can grow.
And in Mexico we have Palm trees and Mango Manila from Philipines
And be proud that white people control what we grow how we grow it, and own the land that we have to work to produce the food which we used to grow. Love America
An intense love of avocados may be in our genes!
I didn't want this episode to end!
Jorge Hernandez me too, I wish it was an hour program
You guys are too kind!
How Does it Grow? I love your channel
I literally have an avocado tree in my backyard, I don't know what am I watching this for
😍
Melany u can courrier my friend 😊
She is magnetic and the histories of people that do this work we all depend on is fascinating?
😍whats the address?😇
Nicole, your energy is AMAZING! I loved this video.
Lol I love how you're being so dramatic at the end. My dad chopped a 'dewandaru' tree in front yard when I was a kid, I confronted him why he did that -- I can't remember his answer, but I was so mad at him because I loved green leaves on trees!
15 years later the tree grew back and became so lush/dense that I love to read books underneath it.
What a beautiful story! Hey, trees are living, breathing, beautiful - vital - parts of our world. They do inspire the emotion in me.
Q: HOW DOES IT GROW, AVOCADO?
A: WHO THE FUCK CARES?
Razif FA hahahha, i agree XD
harvey ang
Razif FA Hass Avocados are the best.
we had our own avocado tree at home in sri lanka. we call it BUTTER FRUIT. usually eaten mashed or blended with sugar and milk.
"Butter Fruit" is such an accurate description -- love it!
Sri lanka has chiles, and tomatoes and onionsmake quacamole.
Olivia Gomez haha right?! They should but they never figured that out..only consumed as smoothie.
That sounds awsome I have to try that now.
Annette Thomas yea! In Vietnamese it literally translates to butter fruit too! Sometimes people eat it with condensed milk
Of course California passed laws on picking avocados...
I am still surprised there is not an eating license issued by the state. How can people be allowed to eat their own food without the proper licensing of competence, so as to render the consumption certified and fit for communal reciprocity? The old natural habits of just putting things in your mouth is so stone age, there needs technical supervision and tracking via VR360 plus ID tagging and geolocation. The more data about the people the better. Total surveillance to feed the AI as many data points as possible.
Aop Stoar It is coming. Jerry Brown is finalizing it.
It may be related to the natural toxicity of avocados. Ripening often suppresses or decreases the toxicity of unripe fruits. If you give a avocado to a canary it will die. I also read about someone who got kidney problems after eating avocados daily for a few months. Avocado leaves are also extremely toxic to goats.
Dream Big valid points about small amounts of toxin in avocados (which is called persin, btw). birds and cattle are indeed affected by it and california is right to pass the law. but to be fair, if you eat one food in excess for a prolonged period of time, you going to have some type of digestion problem sooner or later. everything should be taken in moderation. avocados are great for reducing cholesterol and along with olives one fruit that contains monounsaturated fat.
Brian Sheridan jerry brown is a dictator but the state is so far left now that it can’t be reversed. Thankfully at the national level it’s not too late.
Just one more gift from Mexico to the world 😋
I don't think avocado originated from mexico,in Kenya,south nyanza region avocados grow anywhere,some people use it as animal feed.
Miguel Rico
Thank the giant sloths that ate the fruits and planted the seeds around North America
@@world-wide5806 they came from South Central Mexico
movie clips2018 dude just because they grow where you live it doesn’t mean that they are native to your area!They indeed originate from Mexico!
Miguel Rico and what does mexicans get for bringing culture into a country? Being banned and facing a lot of racism..
I'm running to my fridge to get the avocados out.
If they're cold it's too late lol, but I keep them in the fridge once their ripe if I have too many, once back to room temp they taste fine. Just don't put them in there until they're ripe. If you have a wine cooler that's the best place for extending the life of already ripe avocados, wine coolers are about 20 degrees F/ 10ish degrees warmer than the average fridge, so they're aren't too cold but they're cool enough to keep them from going over ripe
Run hahaha
i have to put them in fridge. i get like 6 in a bag from costco and they ripe at the same time, but i can't eat them all at the same time, thus having to put some in the fridge.
Pipe2DevNull lol😂😂
Pipe2DevNull loll
I spent a semester in Mexico and would eat avocados all day, every day. They were SO perfect over there. I'd cut one open and just be amazed. It looked like someone painted it!
Oh, that sounds like a dream!
This was beautiful!! I love your energy❤️ so positive and vibrant
The best thing about this video is the way she presents it
i love watching this series! the host is lovely and shows real passion towards plants.. good job
Shoab Ahmed a looker too
Thank you!!
“New hope, grown from old roots” that’s deep.
Thank you
So glad you liked it!
i like the reporter shes so happy and the smile god im falling in love with her...
me too
Ha.ha.ha.. she is so beautiful and looks freindly.
If she were fat would you still say thay?
@More Words yeah
@@haydendionsay8283 all women getting paid are like that. Especially workers
I've learnt everything that I know about avocados from my parents; from planting, to eating; we never bought avocados! I grew up eating them, and I just love them! Those trees can be 30-60 feet tall.
I'm not in my home country any longer, but whenever I visit I enjoy them, and when returning I also bring a few with me. We have many types of avocados in my home country, but I only remember a few of them by names. One type the locals called bottle-neck, because of its shape; it's 13 inches long, has a thin skin, thick yellow flesh as butter, and taste buttery, with a tiny seed as that of an egg.
The other type is pear shaped, and it's about 8 inches long, the skin is a little thicker than the bottle-neck, it's also yellow as butter, and has a lovely flavour. The other one is the Pollock, and a few others, but I don't remember their names.
When I relocated to Canada, it was very difficult for me, getting used to the taste of the avocados that we get here, but not very long I got used to the taste; I do like them now!
I had never eaten a small avocado such as Hass, until I relocated; in fact, I never knew there were such small avocados!
Nice video! Thank you so much, and God bless.
Great episode! Pomegranates next pls! :)
C.A.Nav OMGGGG YESSSS I WOULD LOVE THAT
Totally on the list to do!
How Does it Grow? And seedless pomegranate too please.
Max Jacobi
that sounds like an abomination a seedless pomegranate! eeewh! I love the seeds!
Loved the background music, the video and that line " New hope from old roots" !!
I'm so glad you did!
I enjoy your work. Thank you.
Grace22 my eyes kinda teared up..
I plan on one day having an orchard, I'm so planting an avocado tree. This reminds me of how much I love eating them and thankfully gives me some information before I trying growing one.
Very good to know that they can grow back even better from stumps considering I live in Texas and droughts are an annual thing. 2019 has been weird since there has been enough rain that we didn't have a drought or much of one this year. It's a welcomed change but I'm not expecting a repeat next year.
This gal is so natural and precious. She loves to laugh. Great video on Avocado
The plantation somehow looked like from a fairytale to me :)
Great video, really enjoyed watching you!
Thank you!
its called an orchard
Julian Do It George and the avocado beanstalk
Growing up in one is definitely a fairytale
Avocados from Michoacán Mexico are the best and most delicious.
Much better if you can grow your own.
Uruapan, Michoacán🤙🏼🇲🇽
“Testicle fruit “ 🤣
Anyway, what beautiful trees 🌳!
ancient civilizations use... interesting names
The way she interacts with Latino workers is so contagious. Dear viewers , have you hugged your Mexican lately? And she so bubbly, she oozes enthusiasm.
The best thing about this feature videos is that if you care about what you eat and care about “from farm to fork” , and clean eating , these videos are the ticket. In the age of Monsanto and commodity crops, these videos shed a new light on how to value agricultural work.
Thank you Antonio! One of our missions at TFTV is to show the human side of farming - and the immense work that our farmers and farm laborers do to bring us our food.
Her laugh is so contagious. I love it! Love the commentary too
Thank you!!
I was about to comment that.love her laugh.
Yu mean she is contagious...would totally do her
Well, as long as she's as merry toward her family, I approve and like it. I've met people who are angels at work but demons at home. This is no criticism toward this lady, whom I don't know personally, just a piece of wisdom worth reminding ourselves of from time to time. Our spouse, children and parents have the right to our warmest affection. Thanks for a great video!
It's always a pleasure to watch your videos, and they are only getting better and better. So inspiring and informative, thank you!!!
Omg she is the most friendly energetic girl I've seen.
YeS U aRe RigHt
honestly, i think that she should get her own television show. All these videos are excellent and it would be awesome to see what this team can do with 22 minutes and a huge budget.
I love Avocados almost as much as I love your positive energy.
Aw, that's sweet, Merlin. Thank you!
Planting/growing/raising fruit trees are one of life's greatest gifts, it's always such a magical and relaxing experience to be around green, there is nothing else like it and watching you in this video I enjoy seeing your passion and feeling your emotion! Thank you for such an awesome video, I find myself coming back now and again for some quick joy & inspiration :)
You're too kind. Thanks for the support!
Yes it's our Mexican fruit that we love so much. I'm growing avocado trees for my familia. God bless you sweet lady for sharing this beautiful video.
this is one of my favourite channel on you tube, the way how you explain each theme is so simply. i play your videos again and again. thanks nicole
Loved this one. Been cutting avocados by the thousands for years, and still learning new stuff.
So glad you enjoyed it.
SAD! get out more- travel somewhere...any fucking where! Go .........NOW!
Lara Montez what
your enthusiasm is contagious =)
Thank you! I truly love learning about this stuff.
I love Avocados. After I ate several Avocados, I planted 2 seeds in a flower pot last winter. Now, there are 3, yes 3 little lush baby Avocado trees in my greenhouse.
A labor of ♥️!
I appreciate those who grow such beautiful & delicious produce...
Thank you!
🙏🏼’s & may your 🥑 grow abundantly!
😁
I always put my avocados in the fridge as soon as they’re ripe to stop them from going bad. They ripen so fast especially when it’s warm.
They don't last 10 mins in my house. Never get the chance to see the fridge.😔🥑
2nd video I've watched from this series (1st was Asparagus a few minutes ago), and I am officially subbed for as long as you keep making them! Mahalo nui loa!!
Thank you so much! Another new episode coming very soon!
That is literally the first video I watched, and this is my second video. I subscribed after watching this one too. Lol You are me only 2 weeks earlier. Hahaha
Can't... stop... myself...
You must have a... Flair... for coincidence? (I;m so sorry... mmm, kinda... Cool name, though.)
Same lol first asparagus, and now this was my second.
lol i said the same thing a few mins ago.i came after the asparagus video too.
one of my favorite TH-cam channel, short videos with tons of good info in each one, not to mentioned how well presented they are. I just cant stop watching them one after another. Keep up the great works! ppl who pressed the thumb down button - ARE YOU OK?
amazing and beautiful video - love the commentary, music, avocados, everything is perfect! i want all of the videos on yt to be this good
Condensed milk, avocado, water, ice then blender that
Mmmmmm... sounds great!

Yay love these videos!!
So glad you enjoy them! We love making them!
How Does it Grow? I hope you randomly find this and it makes your day. you are cute as fuck, love the way you talk to people 😍
Sponge Bob relax
Alfredio d' joliette you don't have to be a wise guy, I just gave her a compliment nothing bad in that
Sponge Bob do you like guacamole? !
I’m growing my own avocado tree at home:) love the video
Thanks for the information about the varieties. I was asking myself why avocados in California are most of the time Hass avocado, which are smaller than other varieties.
Often commercial selection comes down to durability in shipping!
I like the ones that grow in Florida
@@TrueFoodTV is it only hass that strong on shipment? what about pinkerton or reed?
LOVE | How Does It Grow?
I like what you did there!
you have best youtube Chanel hi from iraq 😊 wish you can be here to see how many fruits amazing and you will surprised in it ☺😉
Hello, Ahmed in Iraq!! So happy to have you watching. I would love to get out your way -- I know you guys have so many wonderful fruits we can't even get here in the States.
I love how excited you were when you talk
It was amazing !!
Fell in love with your...Job!!
That was cute when the giggled together 😊 power of avocado.
This is the BEST one to date!
This is fast becoming my favorite channel. I can’t get enough of it!
Such sincerity in your videos. Thank you for making them.
I absolutely love this series, and your voice! So relaxing and informative. Thank you!
You're so kind! Thank you! I'm so glad you're enjoying my videos.
wow I've been waiting for this video for a long time! I love the longer length :) and the editing is so good! Thanks again and sending love from New York!
Thank you so much! I'm thrilled to know you're loving it. (Hugs from a New York native)
This is the best job ever.. always surround by nature... 😘😘😍😍😍
Es un fruto que no puede faltar en La comida mexicana y americana por lo que representa nutricionalmente y culturalmente, me agrada como interactuas con las diferentes personas al hacer tus vídeos, felicidades. Y nuevamente un saludos a mis paisanos en usa.
Great music!
Make a video on mangoes
I would love to!
Heard somewhere that more people on the planet get their daily vitamin C from mangoes than anything else. (As a fungal disease researcher, have to say there is a lot of sugar in mangoes and it feeds fungal disease like Candidiasis)@@TrueFoodTV
It's almost the same process
It's about 90% the same thing you learned with 🥑
I should know I'm Mexican
Indian halphose mango world best mango I am growing up
@@LuisRamirez-mp6wk i heard that a tree ripened mango its so much more tastier that it can be catagorized as a different fruit
I needed some real facts on cutting and preparing avocados, thanks! Also I super appreciate that you get in there like a pro and speak Spanish.
Thanks for having closed captions!
2:58 that high five shake tho😂
Great video - might I suggest cacao? I was at a cacao plantation this time last year in Costa Rica and it was absolutely an amazing (and unexpected) experience.
Yes, we would LOVE to do cacao!
I got a cacao ...wanna see it
Ty to this video
As always love the channel and content!!! Thanks so much!
Me encantan tus programas y tu energía positiva. Saludos desde México.
I love this channel and the host is so pleasant adding charm to the show.
This is so interesting and I love your enthusiasm! Definitely going to have to try the peeling trick!
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed it.
Wow what a beautiful place.
I enjoyed your video.
I love avocado and I also love her. She's the best doing this. Love You. Greetings from Panama. 🥑
How it grows, Redwood trees please
BOX FOX why not include the giant Sequoias as well. From the little I do know already, they are incredibly fascinating. Not just in person, if you're ever fortunate enough to bare witness at these incredibly majestic creature's, it's literally gob-smacking but to know the incredible journey it takes for these natural wonders of the world to exist is just as incredulous!
The Ending is so awesome that it earned my subscription right away!
Thank you!!! That means so much!
I love that she speaks Spanish. Saludos de argentina!
Very interesting. I knew about them never ripening while on the tree but didn't know that the fruit would dry out if the stem button was removed. Nice tip. I have grown Hass avocado trees not expecting to get fruit on them because they were not grafted like a farmer said they must be. After trying several methods (including the toothpick trick) I settled for just placing wiped clean pit's into the ground around the yard 1-2 inches & watered often but not to often. In a few years we had several Avocado trees & one had fruit on it. Very very tasty; smaller than the stores have but so what. I understand that you have to have a male & female tree in order for any fruits to grow. If you have the yard space give it a try just plant several (I planted 7 pits in all) in your yard. Good luck.
Haha, been waiting for this awhile. I love seeing you get all excited in your videos!
Soo passionate, I love the lady teaching us how it's made 💕
This is my favorite grown edible. I have started an avocado orchard in Los Angeles and I plan to start another in San Diego. I don't think I will have a problem distributing them to willing mouths. The demand is rapidly increasing.
I really like how she laugh, so genuine :)
I can't wait for more videos. I was just looking at how vanilla beans grow. I didn't know that there from an orchid. I would love to see a video about that. The entire plant is fascinating.
I'm dying to do vanilla! Unfortunately it doesn't grow anywhere near me. But hopefully one day soon we can travel to an area where it does!
We have avocado fruit salad in the Philippines, Mixed it banana milkmaid or evaporated milk sugar etc.
Mmmmmmmmm
Love this show. I really hope those fruit pickers are taken good care by the company, seems to be a very hard job.
I accidentally stepped into your channel yesterday and couldn't stopped watching your amazing videos. They are so informative and educational. I also like your presentation style, very natural and energetic, and find you very photogenic. You never stop smiling. Now I come here to destress whenever I'm tense up. Keep going, Nicole, love ya.
Another beautifully-done episode. Thx!
Random facts: The fuerte (strong) variety is apparently the weakest. Avocado, or variations of it (aguacate, abacate, avocat), is similar to "lawyer" in most Romance languages (abogado, avocat, avogado, avvocato). This apparent connection either happened through a process of folk etymology or there's actually a link between lawyer (advocate) and testicle (testis used to mean "witness", or someone who testifies). Guacamole comes from ahuaca-molli, from ahuacatl, "avocado" + molli "sauce." In Spanish, mole is a chili salsa. In Colombia, guacala is slang for "yuck". In Brazil, they drink avocado juice with milk and sugar.
tupisamba211 I like your explanation but I also think that the pronunciation, in Spanish at least, is simply the spaniards best attempt at speaking the natives language since the Spanish word sounds almost the same; if you're a native Spanish speaker you'll notice that in Spanish we don't pronounce the last letter "l". There are lots of words that are so close to their original. I'll give you an easy one, you may already know it, maíz. Can you tell me the native word for it? Saludos desde Nicaragua.
Wonderful, interesting conversation going here. I'm listening...
How Does it Grow? Maíz, corn, comes from the Tahino, Dominican Republic, Mahiz. Here's another one, cocoa in English, cacao in Spanish and in the Nahuatl is ?
Exactly. This is what I meant by folk etymology ('the process by which the form of an unfamiliar or foreign word is adapted to a more familiar form through popular usage').
While we're being word-nerds. I always found the disputed etymology of the word chicano to be interesting. There was once a shift from Nahuatl into Spanish where the pronunciation of the letter X went from a 'sh' sound to a 'h' sound. If you shorten 'mexicano' to 'xicano', while adding the original Aztec pronunciation, it basically becomes 'shicano', or chicano.
As an addendum to my original comment: I mentioned the guacala (pronounced 'wacala') slang only because it obviously reads like 'guacamole' and since I'm not a huge fan of avocado (sorry, Nicole), I created a new word guacala-mole, lol.
Pleased you think so!
I subscribe to a channel (unrelated to agriculture) with 200K subs and their newest videos only have a conversion rate of about 5-10% (ie 10-20K views)! You, on the other hand, have 60K subs and 45K views on this video already. An impressive 75% conversion so far!
We now live in a world of simulation, far removed from what's real. Money now means digital ones and zeros, clothes are made across the world by strangers for pennies, we find friendship and romance from behind computer screens, and food is processed & flavored to taste like the ingredients that once were in it.
As a Why addict, your Hows are like Whys in disguise. They tell a story, putting a piece of the puzzle in place. Keep up the great work!
I actually love this new style! I like that you get hands-on with the interviewees. It's also cool to hear from the farmers themselves! I've been subscribed since before the channel name change, and I think it's the perfect show to "watch while eating food".
Thanks for this awesome feedback, Kevin! So happy to have you watching.
I love me some Avocado 🥑 😋😍 and am blessed to have a Hass avocado tree in my backyard....it’s so creamy & delicious 😋
So glad I found this channel😍 so relaxing and calming.. I enjoy every video🥰 thanks so satisfying!
Yay! A new video! And proof that Nicole hasn't been kidnapped by Martians!
(What? I worry about my favorite TH-cam people)
Xantar hahahaha
Yes, I live I live! But to be fair... I have been making some short "Quick Bites" in the meantime. You HAVE watched them, right???
:-P
How Does it Grow? Yeah but that was like WEEKS ago. :-p
Im harvesting Avacado in Somalia and the locals love it. Its thirsty plant but very rewarding
Love your videos much love and respect from Toronto Canada and Guyana ❤🇬🇾🇨🇦
Wow!! This video gave me goosebumps!! Very beautifully made!!
i'm so confused so people DIDN'T know you could peel away the skin easily?!
Seriously -- there are many more of us than you think!!
It's been a while. Glad to see you're back!
Thank you! More coming too!
This girl is bursting with life! Super cute, too. Right, avocados.
this is the second video ive watched of yours and now i feel a binge coming.thanks for the videos.
Very interesting
Thank you!
Wow. I'm having goosebumps right now. Thanks to a documentary about avocados. Okay.
You're so likable and funny, Nicole, and your voice is so relaxing. I love this video and will watch them all! That's what I would love to do myself for a living. It's so inspiring.
Much love from Germany where we adore the avocados but usually find the Hass (german for 'hate' which made me wonder why it's called liked this) ones and now I know why. :)
Susan
Thank you for all the kind words, Susan! Someone else told me that Hass means hate. It must be so weird to buy "hate fruit." Ha!. The truth is that the name Hass comes from the American horticulturist Rudolph Hass who first grow them in the US.
Thank you so much for your reply and this precious information! From now on I will tell this everyone who goes to the supermarket with me. :) Have a good day!
I feel that I can’t live without your channel!
I worked in a place like that avocado field and loved it
Had an avocado to eat with my food every day
And we're about 7 different kinds it was like being in heaven 😍😍😍💕💕💘💞
