Food distribution company Eurobanan recently developed the Aguacate Light (Avocado Light) exclusively for the Spanish market, offering a low-fat avocado alternative that reportedly contains 30% less fat than comparable avocados. As well as boasting a reduced fat content, the all-new kind of avocado is also said to have a mild flavor and a pulp that's "juicier" than normal.
Although it might seem unusual for the classic avocado to be modified in any way, previously there have been party-sized avocados that have been introduced to supermarkets in the UK, as well as small-scale "babycados" that weigh in at just two ounces.
The Aguacate Light is set to officially make its debut in just a few days at the Fruit Attraction trade fair in Madrid, following which it will be available at select supermarkets and speciality stores.
