The Story Behind It

The Tale of Guacamole

Guacamole derives from the Nahuatl "ahuacamolli," or avocado sauce, eaten by the Aztecs centuries before Spanish contact. Avocados were domesticated in Mesoamerica thousands of years ago, and the mashed dip spread internationally alongside the growing popularity of Mexican cuisine in the 20th century.
