Tesco is launching what it claims to be the UK's first ever avocado spread.
The launch follows on from the retailer's innovation in the product with avozillas and frozen avocado, and Marks and Spencer releasing sliced avocado pots.
Tesco spreads buyer Dean Rawlinson said: “Shoppers can’t get enough of avocados, which have become extremely popular on account of their great taste, versatility in food and drinks, as well as for their nutritional benefits.
“We’re always looking for innovative new avocado products for customers such as the Avozilla or frozen avocado which we launched last year.
“With this, the UK’s first ever avocado spread, our product developers have created a new and exciting way for shoppers to benefit from the excellent health credentials of avocados in even more ways.”
In the last year, demand for avocados at Tesco has grown by 40 per cent making it one of the UK’s fastest growing established fruit varieties.
Also being launched this week at Tesco is another healthy spread, made with coconut oil.
Both spreads, which are dairy free, will cost £1.20 and will be available in 400 Tesco stores across the UK.
