Avocados are so hot right now. So hot in fact that a restaurant has opened that only serves dishes and smoothies made out of avocados. The protein-packed green, creamy fruit (Yes, it’s a fruit, in particular, it is a single-seeded berry) is so desired that Shark Tank‘s Mark Cuban invested $400,000 into this avocado-only restaurant.
In a Shark Tank episode from last week, investors Barbara Corcoran and Mark Cuban each invested $200,000 for a 10% stake in Avocaderia, an avocado-only restaurant. The celebrity investors gave the Brooklyn-based avocado joint a $2 million valuation. The investors believe the thirst is so strong for avocado fare from millennials that there is a future for a restaurant. Fun fact, the avocado is also known as the “alligator pear” and “the apple of the winter.”
