About the Mexican Hass Avocado Importers Association
The Mexican Hass Avocado Importers Association (MHAIA) is dedicated to supplying consistent high quality avocados throughout the year. Avocados from Mexico are available year round and can be found in your local grocery store in the produce aisle.
Mexico's rich volcanic soil, abundant sunshine and timely rainfall provide the perfect climate for producing fine avocados. Grown in the fertile orchard land in the state of Michoacán, near the Pacific Coast, Hass avocados from Mexico have a smooth and creamy taste and texture. Consumers are assured of getting consistent supplies of high quality Hass avocados from Mexico throughout the year.
Avocados from Mexico have 50 calories and contribute nearly 20 vitamins and minerals per 3 slice (1 oz) serving. They contribute the “good” fats to the diet, and are virtually the only fruit that has “good” monounsaturated fat. Avocados are so versatile, and can bring a creamy, delicious flavor to many recipes.
Avocado enthusiasts can now become a fan of Avocados from Mexico on Facebook (search: The Amazing Avocado) and can follow @AmazingAvocado on Twitter. MHAIA will share nutrition tips, recipes and promotions through these social media tools.
