California: The Avocado Capital of the World (or at least the US)
Let's talk avocados. No, seriously, let's. Because if there's one thing California is known for apart from sunshine and overpriced real estate, it's avocados. We're talking about a state that produces so many avocados, you could probably build a giant avocado-shaped swimming pool filled with guacamole (don't try this at home, kids).

Avocado Abundance: How Many is Too Many?
Now, you might be wondering, "Okay, smart aleck, how many avocados actually does California produce?" Well, buckle up, because we're about to dive into some serious avocado statistics.
QuickTip: Let each idea sink in before moving on.
In 2023, California produced a whopping 117.2 thousand tons of avocados. That's a lot of green gold, people. To put that into perspective, that's enough avocados to make every person in the US eat about 3 avocados a year. And that's just California!
QuickTip: A careful read saves time later.
The Avocado Empire
California practically has a monopoly on avocado production in the US. It's like the avocado kingpin, sitting on its green throne, ruling over the avocado underworld (okay, maybe that’s a bit dramatic). But seriously, the Golden State produces around 90% of the avocados consumed in the US. So, the next time you’re enjoying your avocado toast, take a moment to appreciate the Californian farmers who made it possible.
