Is guacamole originally made in Guatemala?
The origin of guacamole is not definitively linked to Guatemala, but rather to the regions of ancient Mexico and Central America, particularly the Aztec Empire. Avocados, a key ingredient in guacamole, are believed to have originated in Mexico, and the recipe for guacamole is thought to have been developed by the Aztecs. The word "guacamole" itself comes from the Nahuatl language spoken by the Aztecs and means "avocado sauce".
