McDonald's Japan Adds Avocado to its Breakfast Lineup
JAPAN - Behold avocado lovers—McDonald’s has just released a new avocado muffin breakfast sandwich in its Japanese locations.
In the latest addition of, “why don't we have these here?” products, McDonald’s avocado muffin is a delicious looking meld of avocado, ham, lettuce, and a spicy sauce. This new sandwich also joins other avocado-centric items on McDonald’s Japan’s menu, including an avocado burger, an avocado-fried shrimp sandwich, and an avocado veggie burger.
"We’ve used avocados before in Japan on different sandwiches and they became quite popular with our customers, and this was a way to continue offering them avocados with a twist on breakfast," a McDonald’s representative told Mashable.com.
This isn’t the first time McDonald’s has forayed into upper scale and produce-centric territory in other markets. Just earlier this month, AndNowUKnow reported on McDonald’s Australia’s wilted spinach breakfast bowls and corn fritter with grilled tomatoes.
Will this eventually hit a U.S. location near you? It’s certainly not unheard of. McDonald’s restaurants in Southern California have been testing kale breakfast bowls since May, signaling to many analysts that produce may be making bigger and bigger impacts on the chain’s menus in the near future.
