True, cilantro is a more Asian and Hispanic centric herb. Who knows maybe you could start a trend and be the source of an exotic, rare herb in Sweden...Aloe huh...guess that just leaves ozone for the weird obscure toothpastes for the Cyberdevil to try :P
Nutritious and certainly delicious! Probably one of my favorite vegetables (technically a fruit), but I would rather purchase cheaper produce and wait until they go on sale. The problem with avocados is they have a small window when they are ripe, before they quickly get brown (although still edible) afterwards. If only more people would purchase them when they are hard and green and wait for them to ripen at home...between enough customers fondling the ripe ones are going to leave some of them bruised (and thus get disposed) at some point. That's a problem with agribuisness, mainly as it pertains to grocery and restaurants- practices that propagate waste and over-shipment to first world countries, excess produce is also destroyed to artificially increase the supply and demand...I suppose that's a topic for another day...

oops, I meant imports. I meant imports of avocados btw, I reckon you gave me that information before on the other foods...you must have local apples and grapes though too right?
You don't/not able to grow cilantro at your garden? pomegranates are rare huh...just not pomegranate toothpaste ;) avocados are a staple of south america, but only grown in california in the U.S. iirc...They are expensive here too, not because of location but due to their high demand and to a certain degree, for their propensity to go bad. Unfortunately a large part of agribusiness in the U.S. (and much of the world too, I imagine) thrive on artificial inflation :|

Ah yeah, avocados... actually have no idea where those come from! Have to check next time I go shopping. We get local apples, grapes don't really grow this far North.
I suppose we could! It's just a bit of an unusual herb in our usual cuisine, could try seeding some next year. Haha yeah, we talked about toothpaste earlier? :P I'm brushing with Aloe right now. Mmm, all about supply and demand huh. I think it's one of the more appreciated vegetables too, least here everybody knows how nutritious it is so it's considered a bit of a luxury. Doesn't work in favor of rinsing the prices. :P
