From what I understand that info is not available as of yet
Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses.

I started a love affair with avocados about 3 years ago - up until that time I had never tried them before in ANYTHING including guac. 

I'll definately be trying this...
