Sourcing

Organic Butter Fruit, widely known as avocado, is a creamy and versatile fruit that has become increasingly popular in Indian kitchens. In Karnataka and many parts of South India, it is commonly called benne hannu, which directly translates to "butter fruit" because of its smooth, rich texture.
Many people often ask, "Is butter fruit and avocado the same?" The answer is yes. Both names refer to the same fruit, with "avocado" being the global term and "butter fruit" being the local name used in India. While the terminology differs, the taste, texture, and uses remain identical.
This fruit is known for its soft, buttery flesh that can be easily mashed, sliced, or blended. Its mild flavour allows it to pair well with a variety of ingredients, from sweet fruits to savoury spices. Unlike many fruits, butter fruit is not overly sweet, making it suitable for a wide range of recipes.
Organic butter fruit from Organic Mandya is sourced from farms that follow natural cultivation practices. The fruits are harvested at the right maturity stage and allowed to ripen naturally at home, ensuring better taste and texture. There is no artificial ripening or polishing involved, so what you receive is fresh, real fruit.
