Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 If you could choose only one fruit to eat for the rest of your life, avocados would receive serious consideration. Not only are avocados creamy and delicious, they are abundant in healthy raw fat, fiber, vitamin K, folate, vitamin B6, and vitamin C. Also known in some parts of the world as "Alligator Pear," avocados are one of nature's best sources of raw and healthy fat, most of it being themonounsaturated variety. Your cells need healthy fats to carry out all of their metabolic processes. Your cells also need healthy fats to maintain the integrity of their membranes; approximately 50% of your cell membranes are made out of fat. If eating avocados straight up isn't your thing, give one of the following easy guacamole dip recipes a try. It's near impossible to mess up a guacamole recipe, and freshly made guacamole is far healthier than commercially prepared varieties, which sometimes don't even contain real avocados. Chunky Guacamole Recipe Serves 4-6 Ingredients: 3 large ripe avocados1 small red onion, finely chopped2 small tomatoes, finely dicedJuice of 1 lemon or limeHandful of chopped fresh cilantro leavesSea salt, to taste Directions: Scoop flesh of ripe avocados into a large bowl. Add all other ingredients and mash lightly with a fork. Mash just enough to evenly distribute ingredients and break down avocado into chunky portions. If you want good texture, don't mash too much; mash just enough to evenly distribute the ingredients and break down the avocados into chunky portions.
