What is an Avocado Donut?<\/h2>\r\n
\"Grinding\"Dough<\/div>\r\n

\u201cAvocado Donuts\u201d are made by carefully grinding avocado into a paste and kneading it into the dough. Without using animal-based ingredients such as eggs, milk, or butter, and fried in plant-based rapeseed oil, these donuts are vegan-friendly.<\/p>\r\n

\"Avocado\"<\/div>\r\n

Incidentally, avocados are recognized by Guinness as the \u201cmost nutritious fruit in the world,\u201d and are also called \u201cedible beauty serum.\u201d Packed with nutrients like vitamins and potassium that benefit skin and reduce swelling, oleic acid that helps prevent lifestyle-related diseases, and dietary fiber and magnesium that improve gut health, avocados are truly a nutritional powerhouse.<\/p>\r\n

The Story Behind Avocado Donuts<\/h2>\r\n
\"The<\/div>\r\n

Avocado Donuts were launched by Ken Okai, the founder of \u201cHara Donuts,\u201d which sells donuts made with okara (soy pulp) and soy milk.
\r\nOkai was approached by produce distribution company Farmind and others, who asked him to find a way to make use of discarded ingredients such as bananas and kiwis. Among them, avocado caught his attention. Known as \u201cbutter of the forest,\u201d avocados are easy to incorporate into various dishes, and he thought they could also be used in donuts.<\/p>\r\n

\"Commercializing<\/div>\r\n

However, creating a donut with avocado was unprecedented and commercializing it was extremely challenging.
\r\nBecause avocados are high in fat, the donuts would sometimes become greasy over time or fail to rise properly. By adjusting the amount of avocado used, altering the yeast ratio according to the climate, and taking customer feedback into account, improvements were made step by step.<\/p>\r\n

Avocado Donuts are made with overripe or non-standard avocados that cannot be sold in supermarkets. Even the discarded avocado pits and skins are reused locally as materials for natural dyeing. Surprisingly, when used in dyeing, they produce a pink color\u2014a totally unexpected result!<\/p>\r\n
