In English, the fruit known as "牛油果" in Chinese is called an avocado. Avocado is a soft, green fruit that is high in healthy fats and nutrients. It is commonly used in salads, sandwiches, and dips, and is also a popular ingredient in many vegan and vegetarian dishes. Some people also enjoy eating avocados on their own, either sliced or mashed into a spread. Avocados are native to Central and South America, and are now grown in many tropical and subtropical regions around the world.
