Avocado. I heard much about these fruits/berries/whatever. But I am a poor guy from a very poor and totally non-tropical country. So apples and carrots are the sweetest things around and apples become too expensive too.
Still I bought a few. Just out of curiosity. It tastes like… butter block. Internet says that it should be this way. So… Why people eat it? Maybe it is bad alone and\or raw, but after some preparation it is delicious?
Am I missing something?
You may be allergic to the stuff, XOR you may be in kapha-metabolism, which is incompatible with it.
A little salt on a slice of avocado, can send a vata-metabolism person into heaven.
The book on the fundamental-metabolisms, & there mixed-together versions, is:
https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/ayurvedic-healing-a-comprehensive-guide
IF that book ( & Frawley & Kozak’s “Yoga For YOUR TYPE” ) identifies you as pure-kapha, you’re supposed to not-like-it, because it’s harmful for pure-kapha metabolism’s health.

PS: for all the Scientism-fundamentalists, DO THE EXPERIMENT of discovering YOUR metabolism/dosha, & then preparing pairs of dishes, such that each pair has 1 dish with only-aggravating-of-your-metabolism & 1 dish with only-pacifying-of-your-metabolism, & LET THE EVIDENCE ITSELF SPEAK.
For people of pure-metabolisms/doshas, that should be sufficient evidence.
For people of mixed-metabolisms, it may not be possible to get a clear difference, & for all-3-mixed-together, there isn’t any possible way to convince them of any such thing.
This is 1 of many peer-reviewed actual-evidence-based-science articles that backs Ayurveda: https://www.nature.com/articles/nindia.2015.148
There are around 9 THOUSAND articles listed in PubMed also backing the evidence-based position: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=ayurveda
Ideological “medicine” that “identifies as” evidence-based medicine can go eat rocks.
