Burger King to use Colombian avocado in its Whoppers in Japan

Burger King has two new offerings with avocados, the Avocado Beef Whopper and Avocado Plant Whopper.

Three containers of Colombian frozen avocado arrived in Japan to be consumed by customers of the Burger King and 7-Eleven chains in that country.

Burger King has two new offerings with avocados, the Avocado Beef Whopper and Avocado Plant Whopper, while 7-Eleven has been selling the fruit in its stores in Tokyo, Saitama, and Kanagawa since March.

In a few months, the Colombian avocado will be available in all 7-Eleven stores in Japan.

Andres Orozco, the general manager of Colfrost, which processed the avocados, expects to reach 20,881 7-Eleven stores in Japan by May.

The Avocados is sold frozen in various vacuum-packed formats, giving it a shelf life of up to two years without losing its flavor or properties.

Colombian avocado has been available in Japan since July 2019. Last year, Colombia exported $437,737 worth of fresh avocado in Japan. Colfrost expects its avocado exports to Japan to reach $4 million this year.
