Don't like butter? Smear some avocado on bread, it tastes just like butter. Add avocado to dips or salsa and that's great too.

Heck, I bet if you mix avocado thick enough, you could lay bricks with it.

I guess it's that versatility - probably taste too - that's making organic avocados a big hit in Europe, especially Sicilian avocados.

Avocados from Siciliian are sold throughout Europe - including Germany, Belgium, France, and the United Kingdom - and they've become so popular that the demand has outgrown the supply.

Now that's a good problem. “They're selling like hotcakes!”

Agrinova grows and distributes the avocados and confirms clients have already snapped up their 2011 supply - some aren't even grown yet, I guess.

But the increased demand in organic avocados is not only good for the people eating them, but Agrinova calls avocados a good alternative to citrus fruits.

Personally, I pray to the church of avocado. They're like crack to me.
