The world's largest guacamole, surpassing the two and a half tons of avocado mixed with onions tomatoes and lemons, was prepared in Tancítaro, Michoacán; thus, unofficially breaking the Guinness Record that the US still holds.

"I want to say that with 2,670 kilos, the record for the world's biggest guacamole has been broken," reported the unofficial result Salvador Torres Mora, Mayor of Tancitaro.

At exactly 10 am on Thursday, 450 high school students, with scrupulous hygiene and coordination started removing the pulp to tons of fruit and mixing it with the other ingredients.

The challenge was to beat the one ton 800 kilograms record. It only took an hour and 40 minutes for Tancítaro to achieve the feat as part of its second Avocado Fair.

Blanca Esthela Paredes, organizer of the event, explained that they divided the boys into groups to speed up the process of preparing, "110 (people) to chop tomatoes, 110 for chopping onions, 110 for pulping avocado, 40 to stir the guacamole and 50 for the lemons," she detailed.

The guacamole retained its traditional flavour; it was made with the same basic ingredients used by Mexicans for centuries. In total 113 kilos of onions, 320 kilos of tomatoes and 110 litres of lemon juice were used, explained Liliana Montero Meza, coordinator of the guacamole preparation.
