The Awesome Avocado

Yes, avocados are awesome. I can’t think of a thing that are wrong with them. They have an extremely healthy fat. They are delicious. They are versatile. They are readily available all year long. They are grown in the United States.

Not only that, they are anti-inflammatory, promote cardio-vascular health and help regulate your blood sugar levels. What’s not to like?

Hmmm… I’m pretty sure I’ve tried avocado before, but I must say that I’m not a big fan. How does one start with avocado? How do you choose the yummiest piece and how do you store it? I sure am going to check some of the recipes to see whether or not something so healthy can also be delicious 😉

  Make sure the avocados are not mushy at the store. Then store at room temperature until just before they start to get soft, then store in fridge and eat up in a couple of days.

I haven’t tried Avocado in probably more than 10 years and I must admit I didn’t care for it all. I’ll have to check out some of the recipes listed to see if there is a way to hide the taste in order to receive the health benefits.

Love avocado and can’t get enough! I know some people shun them because of the fat content, but it really is great nutritionally. It also works well as guacamole if people don’t like the avocado-only taste. Guacamole also has salsa/pico de gallo and cilantro as flavoring. Yummy!
