[1]Avocados don’t just taste great, they’re also packed with loads of nutrients. These green fruits provide folate, vitamins B, C, K and E, fiber, niacin, potassium and more. If you want a food that is going to give your body the nutrients and vitamins it needs every day, grab yourself an avocado! The monounsaturated fats help your body absorb the nutrients from other foods as well.
When buying avocados you can hold it lightly in the palm of your hand, it should be solid, but with gentle pressure it will be a bit soft. If you’re not planning to eat right away, go for the harder ones and let ripen at home.
Avocados are generally eaten raw, but you can cook for a brief time before it becomes bitter. If eating raw on its own, try it with some lemon juice. The lemon juice also keeps it from browning. Try some of these recipes to see how far the avocado can go!
