Recently, the popularity of the avocado has been rising. It is now included on every Friday's, Red Robin, and more menus.
Avocados are great. They are native to Central Mexico. Dark green on the outside and light green on the inside. The texture of the fruit is a bit soft and creamy feeling, like solid butter. Avocados do more than look good in our food.
They are high in monounsaturated fat. This is a good fat. Avocados are great for vegetarians or people who eat little meat. For those who don't know -- avocado is the main ingredient in guacamole. Delicioso!
Avocados have more potassium than bananas. They are great for regulating metabolism and high blood pressure. Because the fat content is so high, avocados should not be eaten daily. This is especially true if you are watching your weight. But one avocado split into smaller servings throughout the week will help to control and maintain your metabolism.
