Yesterday I got two avocados from the market and was wondering, what I can make with these. Though I am aware of the fact that avocado is an excellent source of healthful fats, I wanted to know more about this fruit. After going through the facts about avocados, I though of sharing a few with you.
Avocados are rich in mono-saturated fat that is easily burnt for energy. According to the California Avocado Commission, a medium avocado contains about 22.5 grams of fat, two-thirds of which is mono-unsaturated. They’re also very low in fructose, which is yet another boon, and provide close to 20 essential health-boosting nutrients, including: fiber, potassium, vitamin E, B-vitamins, folic acid.

After some thought, I made Avocado corn salad. This colorful combination can be served as a salad or like a salsa with some tortilla chips.
