In celebration of National Hot Dog Day on 23 July, the Peruvian Avocado Commission (PAC) treated New York baseball fans to a complimentary topping of fresh smashed avocados at a local major league ball game.
Although avocado may not be considered as classic a topping as mustard and relish, adding summer avocados to one of America’s favourite summertime foods proved enormously popular with fans – who devoured 600 fresh Peruvian Avocados during the game.
“We look forward to seeing Avocados from Peru become an indispensable part of the all-American tradition of attending a major league baseball game,” said Xavier Equihua, president and CEO of PAC.
Peruvian avocados enjoy a season that, much like baseball, runs from May to September, earning them the nickname of “summer avocados.”
