Did you know?
Avacodos are high in potassium, vitamin K, folate, fiber and the "good" kind of fat? You know - the fats that are mono-unsaturated & actually help lower cholesterol levels! So get making some guacamole, add avocados to salads, soups, or just eat them straight up!
Is it ripe?
Gently squeeze and if it "gives" a little, the avacodo is ripe. If it's hard you can just let avacodos sit on the counter for a few days to ripen. Or speed the process up by putting hard ones in a paper bag with an apple.
Oh, I didn't know that about putting apples with them. Good! Cuz there are always apples in this house.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it wonderful that something so luscious is also so good for you?!
