"Kum Chien Kor'

Look at the fruit below.  Before this I had never seen a fruit like it.  I was told it is being sold at the market for RM9.00 a kilo and its name in Cantonese was Kum Chien Kor or Golden Fruit or Cash Fruit.

A church sister blessed us with this fruit from her brother's orchard in Air Itam, Penang.

 

Avocado - the 'A' fruit

The avocado is a tree native to Mexico and Central America.  Avocado or alligator pear, is botanically a large berry that contains a single seed.  They have green skinned, fleshy body that may be pear-shaped, egg-shaped, or spherical. [from Wikipedia]

Avocados are rich in B-complex vitamins and essential oils and anti inflammatory.  They soothe skin that is red, irritated or blotchy. They are also helpful for lowering levels of cholesterol, which lowers the risk of heart disease.  Beside containing oleic acid, a monosaturated fatty acid that plays a role in lowering cholesterol , it also contain high levels of vitamin E which acts as a powerful antioxidant and vitamin K.
