El Rio Grande Latin Market in Dallas, Texas, has established a new Guinness World Record for the largest fruit display, featuring 86,764 pounds of avocados, totaling 260,292 units. This achievement surpasses the previous 2022 record of 77,000 pounds of bananas held by Del Monte in Westmont, Illinois.
The event also included a promotional sale, alongside celebrations with giveaways, mariachi bands, and DJs. A spokesperson emphasized the goal of the record was to promote access to nutritious food in underserved communities, addressing the issue of food deserts in Texas. These areas often lack access to healthy food options, necessitating significant travel for residents to purchase fresh produce.
