A monumental avocado cut in a kitchen in Santa Clara has sparked a frenzy on Cuban social media. The video, posted on TikTok by user @yanko.gmez, captures the moment when the man slices the enormous fruit in half and exclaims in surprise, "Look at this!"

The images reveal an avocado with a dark green skin and intense yellow flesh, featuring a creamy texture that many users described as “pure Cuban butter.”

In the comments of the video, users highlighted the unmistakable taste of the Island's avocado, stating that "the ones from other countries can't compare to the flavor of Cuba's." Another user wrote: "Cuban flavor, color, and pure cream; the best part is the taste."

The clip, which has already surpassed thousands of views on TikTok, has rekindled pride in Cuban agricultural products, especially at a time when scarcity and high food prices dominate daily life on the island.

Many agree that this specimen is proof that "the best avocado in the world existed… and is in Cuba."
